Use Dynamic Values in Data or Action Elements

Dynamic values are the result of calculated data elements, and their values are only decided at run time. The values can then be used as parameters to other data elements (that run after, based on priority) or in action elements.

To use a dynamic value as a parameter for a data or action element

1. Edit the data element (or action).
2. If the parameter is a drop-down box, it lists the dynamic values at the top. Select the dynamic value you want to use.
3. If the parameter is a text field, click the ellipses (...) button next to the field.

   A screen appears with the list of currently defined data elements.

4. Select the dynamic value and click Add.

   A symbolic reference to that data element is placed in the text field. The reference can be moved within the field, more text can be added before and after the reference, and additional dynamic values can be added too.
