Quickly understand where a Custom Variable is used throughout your Project including what actions set it, where it is used as a Condition for an action and where it is displayed in a text field

The Manage Project Variables panel helps you quickly understand how custom variables are used in your Project.

You can access it from the Home Tab by selecting Manage Variables.

The Manage Project Variables panel lists all custom variables used in the Project, and displays their Type and Availability.

There are three Availability options:

  • Global - A custom variable created for use in any Project in your dominKnow | ONE site. These are created by Administrators but can be used by all authors.
  • Project - A custom variable created for use in the Project you are currently editing.
  • Page - A custom variable created for use on only one specific page in a Project.

If you select a variable, you can view its Details, including name, description, availability, type and its initial value.

You can also see data for:

  • All Usage - Its total usage across all pages in the Project
  • Set By - Instances where its value is being set by an action
  • Checked By - Instances where it is used or checked in a Condition field on an action.
  • Used By - Instances where its value is displayed in a text element.

Selecting one of the numbers, such as the 4 beside All Usage in this example, opens up the usage details. 

The details panel shows a card for each usage.

The card header shows the Module > Learning Object > Page > and Element related to a specific use of the variable.

The card then lists:

  • Use - How the variable is used in relation to this element. In this example, it is Set by the button element. 
  • Action - The type of action affecting the variable.
  • Value - The Value being set by the action, in this case adding 1 to the value.
  • Triggered by - The trigger element for the action.
  • Trigger - The trigger event, in this case clicking the button.

You can also view the usage broken down by category by selecting;ecting the Set by, Checked by or Used by tabs on the panel.

Create a Project Variable from the Manage Variables panel
2024-09-26

Steps to create a Project Variable from the Manage Variables panel.

Once the variable is created it will be available when you are ready to set up actions to affect it or as a value to display in a text element or as a variable you can check as a Condition on an Action.

And once you have used it in any of these contexts the Manage Variables panel will track where and how it has been used throughout the Project.

How to change a variable when ALL variables from a group change
2021-06-17

I have a set of variables like var1, var2, var3.
When all variables have a value of 1, I want o set variable part1 to 1 or any other value.
I know that I could use a trigger everytime var# changes to 1 and check a condition if the other 2 vars are 1, then set part1 to 1, but it's not very efficient and gets messy if we add more variables to track.
Is there a way to constantly monitor the values of var1, var2 and var3 and when all are 1, set the new variable?
Thank you!

Using Custom Variables in XAPI statement
2023-03-08

Hi, I have a form on the first page of my course to capture learner data (name, email etc). I'd like the "Submit" button on the page to send the data as an XAPI statement to my LRS so I can record that the user has accessed the course. I would also love for the variables (First Name, Last Name) to replace the userID sent for the remainder of the interactions for the course. Is this possible, and if so, what are the parameters I need to set in the "send xAPI statement" element interaction for ...
