Most of the Studio actions show their branches in the Properties window, as shown in the previous image. However, some of the images use variable branch conditions to set a specific value to a branch. For example, when you encounter a menu in a script, the menu may say, "Click 1 for X, click 2 for Y, or click 3 for Z." The 1, 2, and 3 values in the menu are the variable branch conditions.

These variable branch conditions are set when you drag a connector from the action that sets the condition to another action.

Click OK.
You will notice the Variable Branch Condition value that you have added will appear on the connector between the two actions:
You can create and connect as many variable branch conditions as you need. Just remember that when your conditions are done, you will need to set the properties in the actions that you've connected. Using the example above, you would right-click REQAGENT and set the properties:
