How do you use Variables?

Kseniia Kurganskaia

Hello Community,

I’m Kseniia Kurganskaia, a UX designer on Tridion Docs.

As you may know, we're planning to move more features from client tools to the web, and one of the things we're looking into is using Variables in Draft Space.

Before we start designing a solution, we want to understand how our customers use variables in their documentation. Please vote in the two polls below:

 Would you please share in the comments if you sometimes use other types of variables?
We would really appreciate any feedback you can provide. Thank you!

  • Regarding your poll on "How do you use variables" ...

    We use variables in several ways, including (mainly) for short strings, but also occasionally for long strings or images. Not used for mixed content usually.

    I do want to mention, however that we also use keydefs and conrefs extensively and some teams use conkeyrefs. We have a special mechanism to help our teams with keydefs see the contents of the key in Collective Spaces, but would be better if collective spaces supported keys out of the box. Conkeyrefs are not supported at all, and it would also help us if support for them was added to Collective Spaces.
