Creating Application Variable

This topic describes the process to create Application Variable which can be referenced in other configuration entities such as Cycles, Macros and Interface Services. This allows you to use the same data for different business unit/sites.

Application variables are created for each referenced cycle. A new version is created at the start of the next cycle period or by using the Refresh option after Pause/Resume.

  1. Select Configuration > Common > Application Variables. The Application Variables page is displayed.
  2. Click New.
  3. Specify this information:

    Category
    The category based on which the application variable is sorted. You can select an existing category or create a new category for sorting.
    System
    Indicates, if the application variable is system defined or user defined. Possible values:
    • On: System defined (Protected)

  4. Click Save. The application variable is saved after successful validation of the specified information.
