Accessing a Global Variable Using the CCE

Resources that use the Common Conditions Editor (CCE) provide a button that enables you to access and add a global variable to a condition statement.

Note: Only the variables whose schema type matches the given resource are displayed when on the CCE. For example, an actor-based global variable is available for an actor-based query, but not for event- or resource-based queries.

To add a global variable from the CCE:

  1. In the CCE for a given resource, click the +/-Global Variable button .

    The Global Variable Selector displays the Fields resource tree containing your selection of global variables.

  2. Select one or more variables you want to add and click OK.

    The variables are added as part of the available fields on the CCE under the Variables group.

  3. On the CCE, scroll to the bottom of the available fields. You can use these variables in condition statements for this resource.

If the resource you are working in uses a field set that contains global variables, any global variable fields included in the selected field set are also available for selection in the CCE.
