Some actions are activated by selecting a context variable in AggreGate Server User Interface and then running an action for this variable. Such actions receive the name of the selected variable and the path for the context in which it is defined on startup. Their workflow is tightly related to this variable, which is why they are called Variable-Related Actions.
For example, we may select a variable indicating current temperature defined in the Device Context of a thermometer device and start a Create Chart variable-related action for this variable. Create Chart action will create a widget containing chart component for displaying a history of temperature changes.

Variable-Related Actions are similar to Event-Related Actions that have a reference to context event on their input. |
In AggreGate Client Variable-Related actions are launched by right-clicking on a variable in Properties Editor and selecting an action to run from context menu.
Here is what variable-related actions may be available for a hardware Device setting variable (screenshot made in AggreGate Client):
