System Variables
The system variable will be replaced by the actual value when the form is displayed to the user. For example, this can be used to return information about the workflow process, the current user, Meta Data, and many other types of information.
The properties dialog box for the System variables control has a SysVar property that you can use to manually type the System Variable you wish to display. Alternatively, there are many useful system variables that you can select from dropdown lists in the dialog box without having to know the "curly brackets" syntax. When you pick a System variable from a dropdown list in the dialog box, Process Director will write the basic syntax for the System variable into the SysVar property box for you, after which you can edit the SysVar property as desired.
The following System Variables can be selected from dropdown lists in the properties dialog box without having to write the system variables manually.
