Using a Variable in a Job
Variables can be used within jobs. When defining metadata in the job configuration, type the open square bracket character ([) to open a drop down list of the available variables, and select the variable to use.

Example: Global Variables for External Systems
If the organisation has external systems, such as a CRM or an HR system, that the Scan2x network communicates with, store the IP address of each system server as a global variable.
When an IP address changes, change the value of the global variable only. All job settings across the entire network are updated automatically.
