Variables

GMetri experiences fully embrace "variables". Variables allows you to gamify your experiences and orchestrate a variety of interactions.
If you want to add interactivity, you would almost always use variables (along with Rules).
Variables can store three kinds of values:
  • String (Any character, word, sentence)
  • Numbers
  • Booleans (TRUE/FALSE).

Sources​​

There are three sources of variables in any GMetri experience:
  1. 1.
    Custom Variables: These are variables that you add manually to an experience
  2. 2.
    Global Variables: You can define certain variables in your workspace settings. These variables are then available for use across all experiences in that workspace. The value of this variable is shared across experiences
  3. 3.
    Autogenerated Variables: These get added automatically
Variables are very powerful tools that can be used to gamify any experience.

Custom Variables​​

Adding Custom Variables​​

  • You can add custom variables by opening Settings > Variables
  • Add the variable by clicking on Add Variable Button in the variables tab.
Checking the "track" option allows you to later check the values stored for that variable, for every user, in Analytics Dashboard
Adding Custom Variables

Autogenerated Variables​​

Some variables are generated automatically when you create an experience. These variables are immutable - their values cannot be changed using rules.
Autogenerated Variables
List of auto-generated Variables:​​

score

score - This is a special number variable that's used to generate the leaderboard in the analytics section. Use this to store any overall score you may have in the experience.

lang

lang - The lang variable can be used by enabling the Show Language Screen option in the settings section. To add languages, go to the Languages tab inside Splash Screen. This variable will hold the value of the language selected by the viewer.

v_identifier_var

v_identifier_var - A unique ID to identify each viewer who views the experience. This can be viewed in the analytics page. Can be email/name etc. - depends on the authentication mechanism used in the Deployment section.
