Hey guys,
I've looked in the past for a list of WPS 7 vairables that I can use in my packages. Is there an extensive list somewhere for this? Now, I'm not looking for Windows Variables. For example, if I write down C:\Program Files in my package, Wise will often replace it with [ProgramFilesFolder]. I'm looking for more of these variables.
Now, again, I've looked on google and multiple PDF's, and only thing I seem to find is variables used by Windows.
Thanks for the help!
Steph

[Notes]
The current project's Notes field in Project Setup.

[ProductVendor]
The current projects's Product Vendor field in Project Setup.
[ProjectDir]
The current project's Project Directory field in Project Setup.
[ProjectName]
The current project's Project Name field in Project Setup.
[Sharepoint]
