Variables are the names given to containers of data. They are created by and are listed below. Data held in a variable is purely textual and cannot be used for calculations or other manipulation (at the time of writing). For a powerful and flexible alternative that can be used to created complex calculations and manipulate data, consider using attributes - explore the concepts here and here - or Report Processing Variables.

Values for attributes are entered when creating an instance of the object to which they are attached. They can subsequently be edited by modifying the records to which they are attached. |

Attributes can be displayed on a mobile device but not usually modified (although there is a template action that specifically allows customer, location and user to be updated). They can also be output on PDFs and other report formats. |
