🔠 Global variables

Creating and editing global variables

From the 'Variables' menu click 'Add variable' and set its different properties: name, initial value, local override (optional) in case you wish to tweak the value locally, and scope (organization-wide or local).

You can also edit the variable properties directly from this view. Editing the variable properties impacts all tests using this variable that will be generated from that moment on.

Using global variables

When building tests and configuring specific validation checkpoints in Helios you can replace values with the variables previously set up by using the following syntax:

{{$ variable_name }}

Once used, the generated code includes the variable declaration with the default / local override value - as well as the variable itself in all validation checkpoints that were configured accordingly.
