# Data Variables

These are variables that capture and store data from within the workflow or events, allowing users to map logic within workflows dynamically.

## Accessing Variables

When configuring workflow nodes, users can access Dataslots by clicking on any **Input Field** in the node. This provides access to a wide range of variables, allowing users to select and utilize the appropriate data for their workflows.

<Tip>
  Each variable is accompanied by its data type, displayed below the variable name.
</Tip>

## Types of Variables

Users can search for variables in the `Insert Variable` section.

Variables in Refold are of three types:

### DataSlots

DataSlots includes variables sourced from the Application or Workflow Config created by you. Few default meta variables are also available under the Workflow Dataslots.

<Tip>
  Learn more about Config [here](https://docs.gocobalt.io/build/connectors/config/config).

### Event

Event represents the variables that you receive in the Payload of the event. These can be used in the workflow to pass data dynamically.

### Nodes

Nodes represent data from nodes present within the current workflow. They enable users to access and utilize data generated by previous workflow nodes.

<Info>
  If you have performed a test execution of the nodes through `Input/Output` option, you will be able to see the fields generated in response of that node as variables in further nodes.
