none—You do not have access to the selected item.
Make properties match selection?—Configures the variable with the same data type and access rights as the item selected in the Project/Network Tree that you want to bind the variable to. This option is available only for bound variables that you access from the Shared Variable Properties dialog box.
Location—Displays the location of the item selected in the Project/Network Tree.
