Universal Controller provides two methods for manually launching all of the tasks associated with a trigger while supplying values for variables used by the task(s):
- Use the Trigger Now... pop-up method if you do not want the values that you enter for variables to persist. The values will apply only for the time the task(s) is running.
- Use the Variables tab method if you want to preserve the information (name and value) about the variables you are setting.
