# Variables

## What are Variables?

Variables are ways for you to create dynamic, parameterized versions of your dashboard based on who is viewing the dashboard.

![You can find all the variables you have access to by selecting the icon in the top-middle of your screen and then "Variables" on the right tab.](https://2280154036-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MQY7AWezpSx_iDLogun%2Fuploads%2FEYpKJfJiogDN1CT8B9kV%2FScreen%20Shot%202022-07-27%20at%2011.17.14%20AM.png?alt=media\&token=8b768e6f-35dc-4ae5-8191-b7d21972dd27)
