Hi Shahnawaz,

Variables: Specific to single catalog item. Cannot be reused/associated with multiple items.

Variable Set: Collection of variables forms a variable set. Unlike variables, single variable set can be reused i.e can be associated with multiple catalog items

Consider 3 catalog items say Unix, Linux and Mac.

A single variable set with variables (OS Name, OS Version, Disk Space, etc) can be reused for all the above 3 items

Hi Mohd,

Adding to Udhay's comment.

We can re-use variable sets as many times as possible. Consider creating multiple items for different servers. They do have some parameters in common. Sp, rather than creating individual variables for each server, we can create   a variable set which can be reused across all server items. This will prevent any errors from happening. Do let us know if you face any problem in implementing.
