Changing the variable name associated with the progress bar

The associated variable of a progress bar takes on the value specified for the progress bar chosen by the user. For example, if a progress bar's associated variable name is Test1_Progress, then the Test1_Progress variable will take on the value of the step representing the current progress of the progress bar.

To change the associated variable name of a form element:

Do one of the following:
- In the Title Explorer, double-click the graphic of the progress bar.
- In the Title Explorer, right-click the graphic of the progress bar and select Properties.
- In the Title Explorer, select the progress bar and press Enter.
- In the work area, double-click the progress bar.
- In the work area, right-click the progress bar and select Properties.
- In the work area, select the progress bar and press Enter.
The Properties ribbon is displayed.
Specify the associated variable name in the variable name drop-down list in the Type group. The variable will be used to store the user’s selection within the corresponding progress bar. The variable can be accessed from anywhere in the title.

Use the Initial Value field to specify the initial value setting for the associated variable. This is the default value of the variable when the published title is launched.

Click to edit the variable name, change it's initial value, or select to retain the variable value between sessions.

Enable Retain Value to retain the variable's value through subsequent launches of the published title. With this selected, if the variable value has changed, the next time the user launches the published title, the variable will load with the previously modified value.

The variable name is changed.

The name/value pair submitted from the published title using email, a CGI script, or Google Drive is the progress bar's associated variable name and its value.
