Globals are designed to support and speed up the development of pipelines, by creating global variables that allow using the same parameters in different initiatives, reusing the same information. It optimizes the work time in the development of projects and allows information sharing among users.
Maintainability is also improved, allowing to change the parameters used by a set of pipelines by only changing the value of the global.
