View All Environment Variables
ProcessMaker Platform displays all Environment Variables in one table that Process designers throughout your organization have created. Any Environment Variable can be used in any Process in your organization. Since Environment Variables are abstract proxies to securely maintain sensitive information during in-progress Requests, Process desgners who create or use Environment Variables in their Processes do not have access to that sensitive information. This makes it easy to manage sensitive information used in Requests.
Your user account or group membership must have the "Environment Variables: View Environment Variables" permission to view the list of Environment Variables unless your user account has the Make this user a Super Admin setting selected.
See the Environment Variable permissions or ask your Administrator for assistance.
Follow these steps to view all Environment Variables in your organization:
Log on to ProcessMaker Platform.
Click the Designer option from the top menu. The Processes page displays.
The Environment Variables page displays the following information in tabular format about Environment Variables:
Name: The Name column displays the name of the Environment Variable.
Description: The Description column displays the description about the Environment Variable.
Modified: The Modified column displays the date and time the Environment Variable was last modified. The time zone setting to display the time is according to the ProcessMaker Platform instance unless your user profile's Time zone setting is specified.
Created: The Created column displays the date and time the Environment Variable was created. The time zone setting to display the time is according to the ProcessMaker Platform instance unless your user profile's Time zone setting is specified.
The Google Places package adds a Environment Variable called GOOGLE_API_TOKEN that contains the Google API token. The Environment Variable does not require configuration or revision after it has been added to your ProcessMaker Platform instance. Please do not delete that Environment Variable: all Google Place controls added to Form-type Screens will no longer function if it is deleted.
