Tenant Variables (Local Settings)

The Local Settings (Tenant Variables) module allows administrators to store static keys and values to be used globally across all workflows and processes within their department (Tenant).

What are they for?

Imagine you have 5 different processes that depend on a "Support Email" or a "Standard Exchange Rate". Instead of manually entering this value in the BPMN Modeler every time, you can create a Tenant Variable called exchange_rate or support_email. If the rate changes tomorrow, you only need to update it in the Administration panel, and all processes will instantly see the new value.

Managing Variables

1. Access Administration > Local Definitions.
2. Click on New Variable.
3. Define a unique identifier (no spaces, preferably snake_case) and the value.
4. Choose the primitive type (STRING, NUMBER, BOOLEAN).

Usage in Processes

During the flow of a BPMN process, you can reference the variable using the expression: ${tenant.my_variable}
