# Properties

A defined property can be used from the Flow designer as a constant in the workflows and thereby be used to define different business logic depending from the value of the property.

A property can exist in two different scopes or contexts:

* **Global:** the property is valid for the Environment that the User logs in to.
* **User:** the property is valid for the logged in user.

Enter the value for the environment properties under Environment in the menu. Choose the environment you what to add properties to and press the cogwheel to modify the environment information. Go to tab Properties and fill in the environment data. Enter the value for the user properties under Users in the menu. Choose the user you what to add properties to and press the cogwheel to modify the user information. Go to tab Custom Properties and fill in the user data.
