Default – captures provisioning data using a validated input field

To add Global Variables:

  1. Select Global Variables from the left navigation menu
  2. On the menu, click Add
  3. Enter a global variable Name
  4. Select the Global Variable Type
  5. Optionally enter a global variable Description
  6. If List type chosen, enter list data:
    1. Enter a Value that will be used to populate this Global Variable if chosen
    2. Enter a Display Name, which will act as a logical label for the value when the list is presented
  7. Click Save

Configure the options above as described in the following table:
