The Variables page allows you to set or override Job Variables that have been defined for the target job. Values you provide here are used only when the job is executed by this Job Control Action.
For example, you may have a job that is triggered to run independently but can also be started by another job through a Job Control Action. If the job needs to behave differently depending on how it is started, you can set a Variable in the Job Control Action so that the job knows it is being started by another job.
