Variables

IMAGE: the Settings → Server → Variables page with the table of variables

Variables are static environment variables that Gizmo apps can use: Gizmo Manager, Gizmo Client and Gizmo Server.

To call a variable, use the format %var%, where var is the variable name.

Variables are most often used in scripts and apps — for example, to set paths to executables.

In this section you can see the variables already added and create new ones.

The table of variables shows:

• Name — the name of the variable, set when you create or edit it.

• Value — the value of the variable.

• Scope — where the variable can be called (Gizmo Client, Gizmo Manager, Gizmo Server or everywhere). A client variable is substituted when Gizmo Client calls it, a server variable when Gizmo Server calls it, and so on. So the same name can have different values: for example, %Games% can be one folder on the client PCs and another on the server. If you are not sure which scope to choose, create a separate variable for each one.

To edit or delete a variable, double-click it in the table. The variable card opens.
