Permanent variable (for all my projects)

[goropopovic (Goran Popovic)]

Hi everyone

How do I make a variable(which is going to be data table) that I can use for all my projects so I don’t have to create it again and again with every project I start?

I watched couple of Youtube videos about global variables but I couldn’t make one in my data manager. In videos they just shift the scope from “main” to “global” but I don’t have that option. Only option I have is “main”.

Is there a way for me to do it in Studio X? Or maybe a way to store it somewhere so I can import it in every project I start?

Thank you

Hello

Not the best option but could you store your datatable as a comma separated string in an Orchestrator Asset?

Using an Orchestrator Asset in Studio X

Hello, Have a look at this https://docs.uipath.com/activities/docs/get-robot-asset . You will find a tab called StudioX which describes the Get Asset acctivity. [image] A most notable mention is that this activity is not able to cope with credentials. This capability is not yet supported by StudioX but we are planning on adding it in 2021 Regards, Dragos.

Cheers

Global variable scope isn’t available in Legacy compatibility project.

Here how you can create it in Windows Compatibility project.

Global Variables

@tom.ri, Navigate to Data Manager and click on Plus sign and select variable. [image] On next screen you can see the option to select Global scope. [image] Thanks, Ashok

Thanks,

1. Global variable is the one which is global for project but not across projects
2. What you need to create is a common file and read it in every process or create a common asset and use in every process

Thank you guys!

@Anil_G, thanks for that clarification!
So, if I create global variable it will not be stored in all my projects? It will not appear in future projects?

Can you tach me how to create a common file and read it in every process or create a common asset and use in every process?
Do you mean- to create variable and save project and open that project every time and build new project on top of that?

Thanks!

Have you considered making a template?
Seems like a simple effective way to solve this and not as clunky as trying to read from a common file or asset.

@goropopovic

As suggested by @Jon_Smith create a template or a common workflow to reqd the file or asset or even if it is a template then you candirectly use build datatable and add valeus as well and have it
