Used the specify the AutoMate constants for this machine. Unlike variables, constants main the same value from task to task. They cannot be modified from or within a running task. Constants are local to each machine.
The constants view is separated into three columns:
* Name - the name of the constant. This
is how the constant is referred to in AutoMate tasks and scripts
* Value - the value that is contained within the constant.
* Comment - a description for the constant. This
is used only in the Constant Options view as reference, and has no bearing
on the constant itself.
To add a constant, click the Add button and fill out values for the constant name, and an optional value and description. A constant name must begin with a letter, and contain only letters and numbers.
To remove a constant, select the constant from the list and click Remove. Note that if you have tasks that refer to a constant that is not present on the system because it has been removed, the task will fail when run.
To modify a constant's name, value or description, select the constant from the list and click Modify.
Constants are stored in the local machine settings of the registry in the AutoMate5 key.
