Global Variables

The Global Variant feature in Visual Guard allows administrators to define configurations that are applied consistently across the entire repository. Instead of setting up rules or behaviors individually for each application, the global variant ensures a centralized and uniform approach.

This simplifies management, reduces configuration effort, and helps maintain consistency in security policies, workflows, and notifications across all applications within the environment.
