Example

In this example, the substitution variable will be set up for use as the Start Page URL (see General Tab, Start Page Settings, Start Page URL).  Substitution variables can also be used in browser automatic actions (see Browser Tab, Automatic Action List, Edit Automatic Action, URL to Match ) or via the JavaScript call KioApp.DoUrlSubstitution() (see Scripting).

  1. Select the plus icon (see image above) to add a new machine-specific substitution variable.
