When creating a new variable, you have two extra options you can use. First, you can **set the initial value** of the variable, so it has a value upon creation. Second, you can enter any amount of **suffixes**, separated by a space. A new variable will be created for each suffix entered, each with identical settings apart from the suffix.

You can create any number of groups to organize your variables. These groups will appear in the Group drop down for each variable, so you can assign a group to it. On the module home page, variable managers can sort the groups using drag and drop. Variable managers can also edit and delete the groups from here, by clicking on the edit or delete icon next to the group name. You can alter the variable order in a group by editing the group’s properties.
