Name

Actions are easier to comprehend and manage over time when they have a suitable name that accurately expresses what they do.

Variable For example NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS for a Windows OS
My data is a list of values If you enable this option, you can append one or more entries to the variable as a suffix, when your variable is an array.
Separator Specify the separator used in a concatenated environment variable, so that it is parsed correctly.
Value Insert a value for the variable. In case you enable the My data is a list of values option, the entry you specify as value will be appended as a suffix to the variable. To append multiple entries at once, use the ";" as separator. For example: Path C:\Windows;C:\Temp;C:\Program Files\ Value C:\Recast;C:\ProgramData New path C:\Windows;C:\Temp;C:\Program Files\;C:\Recast;C:\ProgramData
