Tenant: Difference and usage of Project and Common variables templates

Legacy Modelling

Hi,

Could not find any good documentation that explains the difference between “Project Variable Templates” and “Common Variable Templates” as seen from a tenant perspective. Could you give me an example of a couple of variables that belongs in these templates? That would be a big help…

Hi Werner,

Thanks for getting in touch! We do have a great doc page that provides examples using project and common variable templates from a tenant perspective.
https://octopus.com/docs/guides/multi-tenant-deployments/multi-tenant-deployment-guide/working-with-tenant-specific-variables

Simply put, common variable templates are variable values that remain constant across projects and environments. Whereas (quoting that doc page):

Project variable templates will be collected once for each project/environment combination the tenant is connect to.

I hope this helps! Let me know how you go and if you have any further questions.

Best regards,

Kenny
