Custom variables
Custom variables are listed in Automation > Variable Library, in the User Defined Variables pane. These are variables which you define in a central location, and re-use in other objects.
To get started, Add a custom variable.
To access a system variable in Tasks and PowerShell scripts named myCustomVar, use $myCustomVar.
Variable types
By default, Custom variables are strings.
PowerShell tasks interpret custom variables as a string, even if the custom variable was created with a different type (see Add a custom variable). If the task needs another type, convert the variable in the code.
Only Pre-defined tasks and Scheduled tasks support the following types for custom variables:
String
JSON
Int
Boolean
Long
Char
Byte
Double
Decimal
Single
Array (e.g.,
["John", "Charles", "Harry", "William"])
