For example, you can include the current date in an input field by using the ${date} variable. The current date is checked and added to the input field when the user accesses the form. If the user closes the form and accesses it again a few days later, the value for the ${date} variable will be generated again, to ensure that the date in the input field is always current.
If you add the ${serverDate} variable to a hidden field, you can find out when users accessed the form.

You can also use variables for calculated value fields and for mail actions.

You can combine variables with other variables and with text for use in input fields, for example. One example of this would be creating a default value for an input field with the aim of displaying the date and time:

Input: ${clientDate} ${clientTime}

Output: 01/01/21 12:15 PM
