1.3 Create A Global Value

Global values allow values to be reused across bots instead of creating new variables for each bot. As an admin user, you can create global values, select a data type, set a default value, and allow non-admins to overwrite the value. Non-admin users can overwrite the default value of a global value in their bots. When building bots, global values should be used for values that remain constant across all bots to avoid duplicating variables.

Global Values

1.1 Introduction

Global values enable users to reuse identical values between bots instead of creating new
variables for each bot. A user with the AAE_admin role configures a global value with a
default value and can enable non-admin users to overwrite the value to use in their bots.

1.2 Data types

Data type Description


DateTime Stores a value containing a single date and time value.
Number Stores numeric values, including integers and decimals. It can hold up to
15 decimal digits.
String Stores alphanumeric and character values.

1.3 Create a global value

As a user with the AAE_admin role, you can create a global value, configure the data type, set
the default value, and enable the value to be updated by non-admin users.

1.3.1 Working with global values

Users can perform the following tasks:

 Create a global value as an admin

Create a global value

 Update the default value as a non-admin


Overwrite the default value

 Insert global values into bots

All action fields that accept a user-created variable accept a global value. Insert a global
value into an action field by pressing F2 or by clicking the Insert a value icon on the left side
of the field.

Create a global value


As a user with the AAE_admin role, you can create a global value, configure the data type, set
the default value, and enable the value to be updated by non-admin users.
Overwrite the default value
Global values can be configured to allow non-admin users to overwrite the default value.
When building bots, use a global value for values that remain constant across
all bots instead of creating a new variable for every bot.
