Creating a New Variable

  1. In the Explorer, right-click the root node of the filesystem for which you want to add the variable and choose Customize.
  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. 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. A field for this variable is created in the profile's New Generic VCS wizard and customizer. 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. You can add the variable to the profile, so that the variable is available for all filesystems you mount using that profile. In the customizer, click the Profile tab and click Save As. In the Save As dialog box, select the name of the profile and click Save.

    If you do not add the variable to the profile, the variable is included only in the filesystem you created it for.
