Variables can be used in questionnaire questions and can also serve as computational units for other variables. A triangular marker will appear in the top-right corner of a variable name that is being used. If the triangular marker is semi-transparent, it indicates that although the variable has been referenced, the node or variable referencing it is not actually used in the questionnaire.
