Variable Scope
Applies to variables associated with a task in a workflow.
Options:
Scope | Scope Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
SELF | 1 | The variable is updated or created in the scope of the task instance running the action. If the task instance is a workflow, then any child of that workflow will be able to read that variable. |
PARENT | 2 | The variable is updated or created in the immediate parent workflow scope, allowing a child within a workflow to make a variable available to any other child in the same workflow (at the same level). |
TOP_LEVEL_PARENT | 3 | The variable is updated or created at the top-level workflow variable scope, allowing a child anywhere in the workflow hierarchy to make a variable available to any other child in the workflow hierarchy, regardless of which level in the workflow the task instances are running. |
GLOBAL | 4 | A global variable will be updated and or created. Allows for variables to be shared across independent workflows. |
