3.17 Local Variable Selector

Policies use local variables and they have different scopes. A local variable is defined for a specific policy or it is defined for a driver. If a local variable scope is set to driver, then any policy in the driver can use this variable.

The Policy Builder contains a Local Variable Selector that allows you to select any local variables that have been defined for use in the selected policy.

The Local Variable Selector is accessed through the following actions, conditions, and tokens:

If Local Variable
Set Local Variable
Local Variable

The Local Variable Selector displays the following tabs:
