You can define parameters that are applicable across the entire project or workspace environment.

An environment parameter is a variable of String type defined by an administrator that any user of the environment can reference in their flows and flow-related objects.

NOTE: You must be a project owner or workspace administrator to manage environment parameters.

For more information on parameters, see Overview of Parameterization.

Limitations

Edit Environment Parameter Value

Administrators can change the default value for an environment parameter.

NOTE: Modifying the default value of an environment parameter immediately applies the change across the entire environment. All subsequent job and plan runs are affected.

Steps:

  1. In the Environment Parameters page, locate the parameter whose default value you wish to modify. 
  2. In the More menu, select Edit value.
  3. Enter a new value, and click Save.

Delete Environment Parameter

When you delete an environment parameter, all references to the parameter are converted to empty string values. Job executions can fail, and recipe steps can break.


Steps:

  1. In the Environment Parameters page, locate the parameter whose default value you wish to modify. 
  2. In the More menu, select Delete.
