Console Variable
Overview
A console variable defines a value that you can display on the console dashboard via the "Console Variable" or "Console Variable Marquee" dashboard components. This gives you dynamic control over content that is displayed on the console (rather than the other components which are hard-wired to specific information or have the textual content embedded in the definition of the component).
There are five types of console variables:
- Tournament: Tournament console variables are attributes of the active tournament. They are set when you activate a tournament and saved with that tournament when you close it. They are denoted with a "T" prefix.
- League: League console variables are attributes of the active league. They are set when you activate a league and saved with that league when you close it. They are denoted with an "L" prefix.
- Console Theme: Console theme console variables are attributes of the active console theme. They are set when you activate a console theme and saved with that console theme when you close it. They are denoted with a "C" prefix.
- Application: Application console variables are attributes of the application preferences. They are set when you open the application and saved when you close it.
- RSS: RSS variables contain data extracted from RSS feeds. RSS feeds and data extractions are configured in the RSS configuration panel.
