Represents the Global Variable entry. As the name indicates, global variables are placeholders that hold specific values They can be used in any part of an element value or attribute. The purpose of this object is to allow static information that is repeated across multiple pages or fields to be editable in only one place.
Global variables always have a global value, which applies to all publishing targets. They may also contain override values for specific publishing targets. During publish, these override values are used for the publishing targets to which the global variables belong.
Global variables are defined in the CMS and undergo value replacement in the DSS.
