Action Variables

Action variables are available only for the action in which they are defined. Action variables are set when an action finishes. The variable value can be read or written to at any time while process file actions are running, and it is reset for each new process file event.

In the Process pane of the Create tab, click the action that you want. For example, click Move File.
On the action properties tab, click in a field that supports variables. For example, on the Move File tab, click in the File Name field. The Insert Variable control in the toolbar becomes available.
Click , and then click More Variables to open the Insert Variable dialog.
In the left navigation pane of the Insert Variable dialog, click Action to display a list of the available action variables.
Click the variable that you want, and then click OK to close the dialog and insert the variable in the property input field. Alternatively, double-click the variable.
