3.6.5 XPath Expressions

Instead of using the DirXMLScript engine to perform the variable expansion, as is the case with
most variable expansion, XPath uses built in XPath functionality and the XSLT processor to do the
variable expansion.
For conditions, actions, and tokens that contain XPath expressions, a single $ sign at the beginning
of the policy denotes a dynamic variable, which is displayed in the Value field. This is also true for
the XPath token in the Argument Builder, and for all actions that contain XPath. This is because in
order to maintain valid XPath, only one $ sign can be used.
The following procedure gives an example of using the variable selector with XPath expressions:
1 In the Policy Builder, click the Actions tab.
2 In the Do field, select the clone by XPath expressions option.
3 After the Specify source XPath expression field, click the Launch variable browser icon
4 Select an item and click OK.
Only one $ sign is displayed before the policy.
