Variables

The Starter Kit heavily utilizes package runtime variables and Knowledge Model variables. Most of the runtime variable configuration is part of the front-facing UI and the user can set different values for variables representing KPI targets and thresholds. KM variables are mostly used to simplify PQL Statements and make mass changes to Table/Activity names.

Runtime variables

To edit runtime variables go to the “Accounts Receivable Starter Kit” package and click the image4.png-button. Go to “Settings”, select the “Variables” tab and go to the “Variable Type: Plain Text” section. For each variable you can use the image4.png-button to go into an “Edit” window where you can update the Plain Text Value (Optional) of the variable to change its content.
