Local variables
Local variables are set at the level of a process and are not shared with any other process or
instance of that process. Local variables can be used anywhere where a variable is accepted
by using its name, surrounded by curly brackets and preceded by a percent sign, for example: %
{myLocalVariable}.
When the process ends, the local variable forgets whatever value was given to it by the process
and goes back to its default value. Local variables are generally used to keep information that
is useful for the process itself but not to any other process or instance of the process. For
example, you could store the current order ID for the process, a name, or an email. You can
have as many local variables as you want in any given process.
