Options
The following table gives an overview of the constant-specific options.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Default Value |
Fixed value, which will be used when PitStop Pro runs a Preflight Profile that needs this variable. Note: Constant variables used in PitStop Server cannot be manipulated by the
user. Hence, PitStop Server will only use the default value.
|
| Allow manual input | Enables users to type values when they run the Preflight Profile. |
| Show a predefined list of values | Enables users to select a predefined value from a list of values. If the value type is Number or Length, you will have the possibility to mask the value and provide an alternate name for the user. Tip: You can change the order of the items in the list by just
selecting a value and dragging it up or down and dropping it in the desired
position.

Example

list the users will see when running the Preflight Profile (right).
