What Is Application Variable

Application variables are values that are available to any user or page within an application. For the first time, they can be any value you wish to store.

How do you make an application variable?

To create an application variable: A dialog to enter the variable’s name and value appears. Give the variable a name. This is the name you’ll use to refer to the variable elsewhere (within formulas, for example). Enter the number, date, or text that is the variable’s value.

What is the difference between application and session?

A session is usually for a user and only lasts from when they login to when they logout (or get timed out). Application State has a much longer lifetime, is shared between all users, and is only cleared when the process is restarted.
