Use system values in the logic template to define necessary constants, control processing, return information about the system or log activity through time. Many system values are read-only. However, some values that are used to control the system or log activity through time can be set within the logic template. System values can be added to the logic template by using the following steps:
Step 1
The first step is to place the cursor in the Logic Template editor where the system value is to be inserted and type two underscores ( _ ). Every system value name begins with two underscores, e.g. __DO_QUOTES.
The System Value dialog box will appear:

The System Value dialog box consists of a list of systems values available to use in the logic template along the left side of the dialog box. The right side of the dialog box contains information pertaining to the selected system value. |
Note: To close the system value dialog box without inserting a system value, simply press the ESC key.
Step 2
The second step is to select the system value to be inserted:

The system value can be selected by one of the following ways: 1. If you know the name of the system value to be inserted, continue to type the name of system value until it becomes highlighted. Press the spacebar or enter key to insert the selected system value. 2. Use the mouse to scroll through the list until you locate the system value you would like to add. Click the system value once to view the information about it or double-click to insert the system value. |
Note: You can also use the arrow keys ( up and down ) to browse through the system value list.
Step 3 ( Optional )
The third step is to set the value of the system value if one is required:
System values are easily recognizable in the logic template because they are all highlighted the same way.
