### Creating a New Variable Set

1. From the side bar, under the list box, click the Variable Sets icon.

2. The Variable Sets dialog box appears with the top-most variable set already selected:

3. Click the New... button and name the variable set by typing the name in the resulting input box:

4. Click OK. Datapage+ adds the name into the Variable Set list in the Variable Sets dialog box and automatically selects it so you can start adding to it.

5. To add specific known items into your set, simply add them into the variable set from the Variable List. It contains all the feature variables for the current selected part. Click the Add Variable arrow to add them into the Variable Set Entry List on the left. To add all the diameter values (.D items), for example, you could simply grab each item ending in .D, and then click the icon to assign that item to the variable set.

6. To add filtered items, or items that meet the criteria defined by a variable filter, use the Variable Filter box. You can use the * wildcard characters in this box to dynamically filter all items that meet the specified criteria:
   * represents one or more characters.
   So, if you wanted to add in all the X values for all features, instead of clicking each one to move them over, you could simply type *.X into the Variable Filter box, like this and add that instead:

7. To remove any items from the Variable Set Entry List, select the item and then click the Remove icon.

8. Once you have finalized your variable set, click OK. Datapage+ automatically applies the filter to the list in the side bar. In our example, we've manually selected all the diameter values (CIR0.D, CIR1.D, and so on) and we've also added in a variable filter to grab anything that ends in .X:
