Settings in Variables

Ready-to-use variables are provided in system client 0000 which can be used to define various settings in your AE system. Please refer to the overview in the table shown below. It provides information about possible uses and also if the particular variable can be used in other clients. The general rule is: if the variable is not available in its own client, the one of the system client is used.

If a variable can be used in a user-defined client, you can transfer it to other clients by using one of the methods that are described below:

  1. Open two connections in the UserInterface: One to the system client, and the other one to the client to which the variable should be transported. You can do so by dragging and dropping from the system client 0000 to the Explorer window of the other client.
  2. Use the Export/Import function in the UserInterface.
  3. Use the Transport Casefor the transfer.

Now you can adjust your entries.

Note that for transferring AE variable objects to other clients, you must make sure that the Access option is not set to Read only in the Attributes tab.
The other options allow transfers to take place: Referenceable means that copies of the AE variable always refer to the object in client 0000. This includes that any change in the copied variable will always affect the AE variable in the system client.
The option Not shareable stores a separate copy to the user-defined client.

Changes made in the settings of a variable can take effect immediately or require the UserInterface, agent or server to be restarted. Refer to the list below which describes the variables to get more detailed information.
