Hi spandana daram​,

I suppose that this can be achieved by creating a Thing and saving these information as persistent properties.

Then use it wherever you want.

Hi Bavithraa Marimuthu​,

Could you please explain your usecase in detail?

Spandana, have you already tried the option of setting the Session Parameters? You can customize the session parameter by adding your custom thing shapes and once you have it there you could reference anywhere in the composer.

Or have i got your use case wrong?

Hi spandana daram​,

If the Global Parameters are common for all users then Creating a Thing with Persistent Properties can be used.

If the Global Parameters can have different values for different users then Session Parameters as suggested by Sushant Pandey can be used.
