How and Why To Export Variables

You can declare variables as parameters by checking the Parameter check box in the New or Edit Variables dialog box.

This feature allows you to set the value for a parameter in the Cisco Unified CCX Administration web interface. Because the value is initialized at configuration time for the script that uses it, you can change the value without having to edit the script in the Cisco Unified CCX Step Editor. Such a variable is called an exported variable.

For example, when you create an application of type “Cisco Script Application,” you can choose either a script or a default script. The system then refreshes the web page and provides a list of the parameters with their default or current values. You can modify the values in this list.
