Find from and Fill to a $ variable

The us.link application makes it possible to perform a find from a field that has a $ variable as an input and to use fill to move information into a $ variable field. To use a variable as a source field, place the variable name in the Source Field column of a link record. To fill to a specific variable, place that variable on the source field(fill to/post from) column on the specific link line.

Note: Use $file in virtual join link line queries and $File in fill and find link line queries.

Posting does not allow use of $ variables at this time.
