contain substitution allowing, for example, a variable to be created from the contents of another 
variable or variables. 
 
The data type indicates what kind of information is stored in the element data variable. The 
supported types are String (“this is a string”), Integer (“242”), Float (“15.46”), and Boolean 
(“true” / “false”). The data type is provided for informational purposes only for the designer and 
any developers. When the developer retrieves element data, it will always arrive as a string value 
so the data type can provide the developer a clue as to what the information contains. 
Choosing Before for the Create option will cause the element data to be created before the 
element is visited and choosing After will create the variable after the element returned its exit 
state. Creating the variable before the element is entered would be useful if the element refers to 
that variable. Creating the variable after the element exits would be useful if the new variable 
referenced any variables created by the element itself via substitution. 
When the Store this in log checkbox is checked, the element data is stored in the log (otherwise 
it is not). If the variable holds data to be used within the application only, or as temporary storage 
of data, there is little sense in storing it in the log. Additionally, data containing personal or 
secure data should not appear in a log file, hence this being turned off by default. 
Creating Session Data 
To create session data, select the radio button labeled Session, enter the desired name and value, 
and select when the variable is to be created. Note that the value can contain substitution 
allowing, for example, a variable to be created from the contents of another variable or variables. 
Session data does not require a data type and no session data is ever logged by the system.
