As per the automation standards, passing hard-coded data to any script is not recommended hence creating a variable and reusing the same in the script will be an efficient way of scripting. FireFlink provides you with such features which in turn improves script efficiency.

How to Navigate to the Variables section?

Click on “Configuration” present in the left navigation panel under any individual project, a side menu bar will be displayed. Click on “Variables”.

Navigation

Home icon > Configuration > Variables > Project Environment Variable.

There are 2 sections in “Variables”, upon clicking you will be navigated to the “Project Environment Variable” by default.
