Setting access to Inbox variables

The effective visibility and writability of each variable displayed on the Inbox form is determined by these factors:

• What type of action generated the message (Notify or Prompt)
• The (optional) variable access level as specified in any combination on these forms:
  • The Event Action form for the action itself
  • The Event Variable Groups form for the event handler’s initial state
  • The Event Action Notify or Event Action Prompt form for the action with regard to the payload status of the property that corresponds to the variable, when the handler is associated with an IDO event

For Notify type messages, the default for variable access is Read-Only. You can use the variable access options to override this to Hidden for each variable.

For Prompt type messages, the default for variable access is Writable. You can use the variable access options to override this to Hidden, Read-Only, or Mandatory for each variable.

To change the value of a variable that may appear with a message in the Inbox form, you can perform any of these actions:

• Specify the data, using the Variables tab on the Inbox form as part of a response to a Prompt action.
• Use a Set Values event action with this syntax: SETVARVALUES(VariableName=expression)

• Use any of various event actions that can set a variable on output by using this syntax: RV(VariableName)
