To store configuration information you can use global variables.
A global variable is created in the Configuration Dialog Editor (Project tree: *Definition* > *Configuration*). Select *Global Variables* in the *Configurations* tree and use the context menu *Add Configuration* to add a new global variable (e.g. myFileDirectory). In ivyScript you can access the value of the global variable by using:
ivy.var.myFileDirectory
On the server you can change the value of a global variable in the Admin UI.
Global variable variables also support environments. Therefore This means, it is possible to configure different values for a global variable one for each environment.
