[[edit-workpads]] | ||
== Edit workpads | ||
|
||
To create the look and feel that you want, apply format settings to the entire workpad, or individual elements. | ||
|
||
[float] | ||
[[create-variables]] | ||
=== Create variables | ||
|
||
When you frequently use copy and paste, create variables to easily reuse strings and patterns. For example, when you clone a large workpad and need to connect your elements to a new index, use variables to update | ||
each element instead of updating them manually. | ||
|
||
. Create the variables. | ||
.. Click *Add a variable*. | ||
.. Specify the variable options, then click *Save changes*. | ||
|
||
. Apply the variable. | ||
.. Copy the variable. | ||
.. Select the element you want to change, then open the expression editor. | ||
.. Paste the variable. | ||
|
||
For example, to change the index pattern for a set of charts: | ||
|
||
Specify the variable options. | ||
|
||
[role="screenshot"] | ||
image::images/specify_variable_syntax.png[Specify the variable syntax] | ||
|
||
Copy the variable, then apply it to each element you want to update in the *Expression editor*. | ||
