Chapter 5      Managing Reusable Objects
  Working with Variable Sets
In the next example, you add 
Var1
 with the value 192.168.1.0/24 to Custom Set 1 as in the previous 
example, but you elect not to use the configured value of 
Var1
 as the default value in other sets.
This approach adds 
Var1
 to all sets with a default value of 
any
. After adding 
Var1, 
you can customize 
its value in any set. An advantage of this approach is that, by not initially customizing 
Var1
 in the default 
set, you decrease your risk of customizing the value in the default set and thus inadvertently changing 
the current value in a set such as Custom Set 2 where you have not customized 
Var1
.
Managing Variable Sets
License: 
Protection
When you select 
Variable Sets
 on the Object Manager page (
Objects > Object Management
), the object 
manager lists the default variable set and any custom sets you created. 
On a freshly installed system, the default variable set is comprised only of the default variables 
predefined by Cisco.
Each variable set includes the default variables provided by Cisco and all custom variables you have 
added from any variable set. Note that you can edit the default set, but you cannot rename or delete the 
default set.
Caution
Importing an access control or an intrusion policy overwrites existing default variables in the default 
variable set with the imported default variables. If your existing default variable set contains a custom 
variable not present in the imported default variable set, the unique variable is preserved. For more 
information, see 
The following table summarizes the actions you can take to manage your variable sets.
