Context view.

From this view, you can manage your built-in variables:

  • Create and manage built-in context environments.
  • Create, edit and delete built-in context variables.
  • Reorganize the context variables.
  • Add built-in context variables to the Repository.
  • Import variables from a Repository context source for use in the current Job.
  • Edit Repository-stored context variables and update the changes to the Repository.
  • Remove imported Repository variables from the current Job or Route.

The following example will demonstrate how to define two context environments named Prod and Test and a set of variables, host, port, database, username, password, and table, under the two context environments for a Job.
