Named Datasets

Use global variables in named datasets to define parameter settings. Named datasets are automation objects that define variables having scope across the entire library. Depending on the security settings for a dataset object, its variables are globally accessible to any expression in any automation object. A field in another dataset can reference a dataset variable.

Use named datasets to specify information such as accounts and passwords used in multiple processes. When information saved in a named dataset changes, you only have to change it once, in the named dataset, instead of in each automation object that uses it.

You can use Start Request Forms to gather information from authorized users and then update the values of dataset variables. You can use a Run JavaScript operator in a process to calculate and store values in named variables.
