Variables are specific to a workflow thread and are used to keep track of information from one Process Point to another. In addition, eight variables have a special purpose in that they can be referenced in email templates and other places. When referencing a variable, it is surrounded by {% and %}. For example, to reference variable v1 in an email template, the following would be placed in the template at the position where the current contents of the variable should be inserted: {%V1%}.

The following table defines the variables that are maintained in the {%VARIABLES%} section of the Work Log:

Variable	Value
V1-V7	The value of these variables differs based on the trigger that created the workflow thread. Refer to the specific workflow trigger to determine the values that are placed into these variables.
V8	Reserved for the reason for a denial. If a workflow requires an approval, and if that approval is denied, the reason for denial will be placed in this variable.
VR	Email address of requester.
VA	Email address of approver.
VTB	Table that spawned the workflow thread. (Primary key into the MIE's RDCdataTables table.)
VKEY	Primary key value that identifies the record in the VTB table. This is used to locate the record in case any data values are set by the workflow (such as changing a status).
VITER	Iteration number of workflow thread.
VSWORD	Used internally for tracking the software order number that spawned the workflow thread (for software orders only).
VAST	Asset number (where applicable)
