You can create/add variables to your project via the Project > Variables dialog.

Your terminology indicates you may already have some programming experience. In Captivate we don't usually talk about 'calling' a variable. You can use Single Actions, Standard Advanced Actions, Conditional Advanced Actions or Shared Actions to Assign a value to a variable. You can use variables in Decision Blocks of Conditional Advanced Actions to determine which actions will be executed. And you can Insert variables into text captions or Smart Shapes to display the current value of that variable.
