Add a New Variable
Message or system variables may be added. Message variables may
only be used in the message in which they have been created. System
variables can be used in all messages.
• Message variables are created via Home > Settings > Message
Editor >
Add > Text > Add Variable .
• System variables are created via Home > Settings > Message Editor

a link into a message to use a global variable.
