Creating or editing a Variable Set

You need a Variable Set (which contains the variables you need) in order to use variables in a Preflight Profile or Action List. You can create a new one or re-use an existing one (i.e. add any new variables as required).

Important: Although you can create more than one Variable Set, we recommend that you keep all your variables in one Set. Only if you are working with both PitStop Pro and PitStop Server, you might consider using different sets. However, if you use variables of different Variable Sets within a single Preflight Profile, only the "active" (applied) Variable Set variables will contain values. Variables used from inactive Variable Sets will be blank!

To create or edit a Variable Set

In the Properties pane of the PitStop Server Configurator
1. Locate the Variable Set property.
2. Click .
3. Click Select Variable Set.
The Select variable set: Variable Set Panel appears, displaying all the installed Variable Sets as well as any local Variable Sets that have been defined.
Do one of the following:
- To edit an existing Variable Set, double-click the Set concerned.
- To create a new Variable Set, from the actions menu (), select New > New .
The Enfocus Variable Set Editor appears.
Enter the appropriate details (a meaningful name and a description) and lock the Variable Set if required. See Locking a Variable Set (optional)
Define the Variables you need. See Defining Smart Preflight variables
Click Save. The new Variable Set is saved to your Local Switch folder.
Note: This Local folder is shared with any other Enfocus applications that you may have installed.
