The report includes the variable name and value.
- Where a variable value contains an image or a table, they will be presented as '[image' or 'table].
- The 'Status' column will indicate when the variable is 'Active' or 'Missing variable'. We recommend correcting any missing variables. Please see Missing variables for how to correct missing variables.
- The 'Inherited from other levels' column will say:
- 'Inherited' - when the variable value has been set at 'Organization variables' level or is being driven by the project's details.
- 'Overridden' - when the variable value has been overridden.
- blank - when the variable is not inherited.
