Axonius - Add Global Variables

Axonius - Add Global Variables does either of the following for assets returned by the selected query or assets selected on the relevant asset page:

• Add a global variable (name and value) to the assets.
• Add or replace a value of a global variable that already exists on the assets.

Once added, you can use the global variable in future queries.
