Text Edit Window
This feature is new for adTempus version 4.
The Text Edit Window provides a pop-up editing window for many text fields throughout the adTempus Console. It serves the following purposes:
- Provides more space for editing text.
- Allows you to select Job Variables and Inline Functions from a list and insert references to them in your text.
To open the Text Edit window, click the Insert Variables (
) button, which is found next to any text entry box that supports Job Variables.
At the bottom of the editor window you find a list of all defined Job Variables and Inline Functions, grouped by category. To insert a variable into your text, position the cursor at the desired location, highlight the variable name, and click Insert.
adTempus has many system-defined variables, which get set during job execution by various adTempus components. These are categorized in the list based on the component that sets them
The "User-Defined Variables" category includes all variables that have been defined by users, at the Server, Group, Queue, Job, Step, etc., level.
If your job creates new variables at runtime through scripts or through the Variable Update Action or Variable Update Task, they will not appear here, since the Editor does not have any way of knowing about them.
