Vantage allows you to create and store environment variables that can adjust skills’ behavior for the current Vantage instance. Currently, Vantage only supports variables of type secret, which are stored in encrypted form in a dedicated Azure Key Vault. Secrets are used to store sensitive data and pass them to third-party services using scripts in Custom activity and Output activity (External Export). To manage variables, click Configuration and open the Environment Variables tab. Here you can view a list of existing variables, edit them, and create new variables. Each variable name must be unique within a tenant. Its length should not exceed 255 characters and the length of the variable’s value should not exceed 16000 characters.

​
Creating a New Variable

To create a new variable, do the following:
  1. Click Create Variable.
  2. Specify its name, value, and an optional description for it.
Note: Once a secret has been created, its current value will only be accessible via a script. The Environment Variables tab can then be used to update the value, however, you will not be able to read it.
  1. Click Save.
