Constants
Description
Allows a user to create and define Automate Desktop constants for this computer. Like variables, constants are used to represent data in a task. However, unlike variables, constants maintain the same value from task to task and the value cannot be modified from or within a running task. Constants are local to each computer. For more details, see Constants.
To access Constants settings, from the Task Administrator, navigate to Options > System Settings > Constants.
Parameters
