# Global Variables

In Directual, there is a [system structure](/data/data-structures/system-structures.md) that contains variables (for scenarios, they act as constants) accessible throughout the entire app. These global variables provide a centralized data store for your application.

![](/files/-M6jCoCQNPdT43LI9S5L)

Within this structure, you have the capability to create objects with two fields: ID and value.

![{{GlobalVar.email}} will return 'hello@directual.com'](/files/-M6jDE4KFi8KOOA_3tO0)

The ID serves as a unique key for each global variable. You can invoke these global variables from scenarios, API-endpoint settings, or filters by using the syntax {{GlobalVar.ID}}.

{% hint style="info" %}
It's important to note that global variables are not automatically included in a snapshot of your app. If you need to preserve and transport them, you must handle their export and import manually when necessary.
{% endhint %}
