Creating a New Variable

  1. In the Explorer, right-click the root node of the filesystem you want to add the variable for.
  2. Click the Advanced tab.
  3. Click the Edit Variables button.
  4. In the Variable Editor, right-click either the Basic folder or the Accessory folder and choose New Variable from the contextual menu.

    Create the variable in the Basic folder if it is necessary for the user to set or verify the value when mounting the VCS filesystem. Create the variable in the Accessory folder if the value is static or does not need to be verified by the user when mounting the filesystem.

  5. If you want the variable to be added to the profile, so that it is available for all filesystems you mount using that profile, click the Configuration tab, click Save As, select the name of the profile and click Save, and click Yes in the two subsequent confirmation dialog boxes.

    If you do not follow this last step, the variable will only be included in the filesystem you created it for.
