Snippet - Arguments, Variables, Dynamic Values & Sourced Values

The Snippet – Arguments, Variables, Dynamic Values & Sourced Values project demonstrates how to define arguments, variables, dynamic values and shows how to use appRules Sourced Values to set these values.

Arguments

Arguments are defined in the Arguments tab of the Project Details form as show below.

Note that the values shown are defaults. They can be changed by passing different values when you run the project.

Variables

Variables are defined in the Variables tab of the Project Details form as show below.

Dynamic Values

Dynamic Values are not pre-defined. They are created automatically the first time they are used in the project.

Sourced Values

Sourced Values are used when getting and setting values in appRules. appRules includes several built-in value sources and editors are displayed at design time based on the Source(type) of the data. In this sample project, you will explore several editors displayed when setting the values.
