BOX Manager global variables
For BOX Manager, global variables are defined as a type of BOX resource. They are displayed as a node on the BOX resource tree on each dialog box that displays BOX resources.
In this way, global variable type resources can be added/edited/removed/deployed in a uniform way similar to other types of BOX resources.
One BOX can only have one resource of this type for a site/mastersite, where the name is fixed and uneditable.
In the Deploy BOX wizard, the Resources tab's Configuration tab for the Global Variable type resource node is read-only. This is similar to other resource nodes.
The Merge BOX Resources into Current Site page also shows the Global Variables node. Clicking the conflict indicator for the Variables node opens the Resolve Conflict dialog box. This has the option to add new and overwrite existing variables to the site (default), or add new variables to the site only.
