Environment variables let you define tenant-level values — such as API keys or endpoints — that your skills can use at runtime. They’re stored encrypted and passed to third-party services from scripts in Custom activities and the Output activity (External Export).
Vantage currently supports only variables of type secret. Secrets are stored encrypted in a dedicated Azure Key Vault.
To manage environment variables, click Configuration in the left pane and open the Environment Variables tab. You can view existing variables, edit them, or create new ones. Each variable name must be unique within a tenant. Names can be up to 255 characters; values can be up to 16,000 characters.

​
Creating a new variable

1

Open the create dialog

On the Environment Variables tab, click Create Variable.
2

Enter the variable details

Specify a name, a value, and (optionally) a description.
Once a secret is created, its value is only accessible from a script. You can update the value later on the Environment Variables tab, but you cannot read it back from the UI.
