Key Features

  • Data Types: Global variables support text, number, boolean, and date data types.

  • Security: Text values of the global variables are encrypted and hidden by default for added security.

  • Accessibility: Accessible anywhere in your no-code builder using the $global prefix.

Best Practices

  • Avoid Overriding: It's recommended not to override the values of global variables to maintain consistency and avoid potential issues.

Creating and Managing Global Variables

    • Click the Global Variables button located at the top of the builder interface.
  1. Add a New Global Variable:

    • In the sidebar that opens, click the Add button.

    • Provide a key and a value for the new variable.

    • Select the appropriate data type (text, number, boolean, or date).

  1. Edit an Existing Global Variable:

    • Find the variable you wish to edit in the list.

    • Update the key, value, or data type as necessary.

  1. Delete a Global Variable:

    • Locate the variable you wish to remove.

    • Click the Delete icon next to the variable.

Usage

To refer to a global variable in the builder, use the prefix $global followed by the variable's key. For example:
