Default Variables Category Overview
By default, any variables you create in the Variables tab are placed in the Variables category. You can
create categories to manage your custom variables.
You can create categories in the Variables window only when you either create a or edit a variable. Before
you create a variable at the point of use, you can create the category so that it is available from the drop
lists. Otherwise, you can create a category after creating a variable at the point of use, edit the variable in
the Variable editor and assign the variable to another category at a later time with no impact on variable
usage.
