as per my practice in both case variable value is same,but with only difference,

variable defined in script editor its scope is throughout the document means,we can use variable in back end as well as in front end.

but variable defined in variable overview its scope is limited to front end,we can not access variable on back end.

@Bhawna:

Think that the variables are available both sides,

but a variable created in the script might be deleted in the script again by NULLing it, e.g.

LET MyVariable = NULL();

Hi Neeta,

One difference which i find is: the variables created in script requires a reload whereas in variable overview doesn't require.

Rest of the things are same, in script you can define using set or let whereas in overview directly we can define the required values.

Thanks,
