Variables

Every pattern could define one or multiple variables. These variables could be used within the pattern editor and are replaced with a value at built time (yellow placeholder in the editor). The value is defined in the “Variables” section of the pattern configuration. You could also overwrite the variable value for an instance folder. This allows you to set different values for different folders, e.g. to differentiate the value between several sub-projects.

Variable References

The variables could be used in all pattern editors. Sometimes you want to know where a particular variable has been used. To do this, select a variable from the drop-down menu on the right in the ‘Variables’ section. All references to this variable will then be listed. By clicking on a reference in the list, you can jump directly to the place where the variable is used.
