Variables

You can set and modify variables at the different levels for overlays and assembly elements. You can create variables, which may contain existing variables defined either at the assembly level or system-wide.

— Assembly level variables - These are normally user-defined variables used in the assembly. These variables are set up by an administrator in data administration and specified with the assembly or in the output templates for publishing. Publication variable settings specify which of these variables are scanned for or resolved for a particular publication.

— Data administration variables - These variables are set up by an administrator and specified with the assembly or in the output templates. Publication variable settings specify which of these variables are scanned for/resolved for a particular publication.

Once defined, these variables can be used in two places:

— Assembly attributes and metadata - Variables are specified using their name and the delimiters described below. These variables are resolved during publishing and used within the eCTD XML metadata and tabs names.

— Published output - Variables are specified using their name and the delimiters described below. These variables are resolved, for example, page stamps on overlays.
