Variables

Add a variable to the flow.

Variables usually have a data type and a default value. However, this default value does not always have to be specified. A variable also has a technical name. A variable can be read-only or contain multiple values. Both the name and the technical name must be defined.

Local variables can be created and used within a specific flow. Other flows cannot access local variables. If a variable is not explicitly specified as local or global, the system assumes that it is a local variable.

Global variables can be created and used across all flows.

Once a variable is created and explicitly specified as local or global, you cannot edit it.
