We're updating some of our product names. Nintex Kryon RPA will soon be Nintex RPA. You may see both product names in our help pages while we make this change.

Set Value

Create a new variable and set its value; or
Set the value of an existing variable

Enter the name of the variable (new or existing) to which you want to assign a value
- If you want to create a new variable, type the name of the new variable
- If the variable already exists, choose the name of the variable from the drop-down list
Set the value of the variable you have specified
- You can include free text and/or values copied from different variables

<Enter> <Space> and/or <Tab> can be used

To include the value of a different variable, indicate its name by typing it between dollar signs (e.g., $MyVar$)

Create "special character" variables to use later in other Advanced Commands

To use <Enter> <Space> or <Tab> in other Advanced Commands, it's a great idea to create variables for these special characters up front:

Create a variable named Enter, and set its value to <Enter>
Create a variable named Space, and set its value to <Space>
Create a variable named Tab, and set its value to <Tab>
Create a variable named Empty, and set its value to <Nothing> (i.e., no character)

You'll find these special variables especially useful when using delimiters (such as in the Split command) or when replacing text (such as in the Replace command).

Example

Build a date string by combining month, day, and year

Set a variable to define the separator character

Result: separator = /
Set a variable to store the date using the predefined separator character

Result: date = 08/10/1967
