Variable types
There are three variable types in Causal, and they are distinguished by their colour.
Green variables
are variables that are coming from the existing model.
Blue variables
are variables that are coming from a
linked model
. If you hover over the variable you can see which model it is coming from.
Purple variables
are Causal's special
helper variables
, e.g. today, none, timestep, cohort.
