These are the steps to adding a new resource (a data variable) to the pipeline
- Select Workflow->Data
- Click on "New"
- Enter a name in the label field
- Enter additional information in the comment field
- Choose a type
- Add a value (see composing a value below)
Composing a value
The values of variables in the pipelines can be composed from multiple parts. These parts can be static (see Add a String) or dynamic (see reference, list url, list resource)
- In the "New Variable" window, click "Compose" or "Compose URL", depending on the type of value that you want to enter.
- "Compose" will bring up a new window that shows 4 buttons to compose various values:
Add a string
adds a string of text to the value.
Add a reference
adds a value from an existing pipeline variable to the new value being composed.
Add a list URL
reference a list file and input the values that are contained in the list file into the value. (Note: Each value in the list file must be on a separate line. The pipeline will then run through each of the values on the list.)
Add a List resource
similar to "Add List URL," except that it references a list file that already exists within the pipeline. (Note: See "Add List URL.")
- In composing a value, the order in which the values were inputted will be preserved, so make sure to check the "Current Text" box to see if the value is correctly formatted.
