# Use the SetSharedParameter component

# Use the SetSharedParameter component {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Update the value of a specific shared parameter that you had set for multiple bot
processes on the RPA Hub by using the SetSharedParameter component in the RPA Desktop Design Studio.

## Before you begin

Set at least one shared parameter and associate multiple bot processes on the RPA Hub. For more information, see [Create a shared parameter in RPA Hub](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/cKt90u8RCRPVxIm7d_IHjw "Create a shared parameter so that you can store the global variables or configurable items in one place. These variables are used across bot processes.") and [Assign a bot process to a shared parameter in RPA Hub](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/BemU4YN32yQPkuszFrMnbg "Assign a bot process to a shared parameter in RPA Hub so that it can interact with this shared parameter. You can assign more than one bot process to a shared parameter.").

Assign the automation to the bot process by using the Assign bot process option in the Design tab of RPA Desktop Design Studio. For more information, see [Assign bot process to an automation project](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/oUXPBvfYND_4jqTOwRNn~Q "Assign a bot process to an automation project in RPA Desktop Design Studio to start using the bot process resources.").

Role required: none

## About this task

You can configure the properties for the SetSharedParameter component. For more
information about these properties, see [Properties of the shared parameters](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/gzWZGN9bGgOVwtUH3m4UVQ "Learn about the properties of the shared parameters in RPA Desktop Design Studio.").

## Procedure

1. In the Toolbox pane, navigate to RPA HubShared Parameters.
2. Drag the SetSharedParameter component to the Design surface.
3. To configure the input fields, see [Configure port properties](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/o6fErdzBCUqYUWlLG1ZZzQ "Configure how data is passed to the input fields of a component or method in RPA Desktop Design Studio.").
4. Connect the data and control ports of the SetSharedParameter component to the corresponding ports of the other components.

   | Port type | Purpose of connection | Mandatory? |
   |-|-|-|
   | Data In (Name) | Takes the name of the shared parameter that you had set for bot processes in the RPA Hub from a previously executed component. | Yes. To pass the variable name, double-click the Name field and enter the variable name. |
   | Data In (Value) | Takes the new value of the shared parameter that you had set for bot processes in the RPA Hub from a previously executed component. | Yes. To pass the variable value, double-click the Value field and enter the value. |
   | Data Out (Return) | Returns the Boolean response to whether the existing shared parameter value was replaced and passes to the next component. | Yes. To view the output, right-click the Return field and select Preview Data. |
   | Control In | Connects to the Control Out port of one or more components. | Yes |
   | Control Out | Connects to the Control In port of another component or the default end component. | Yes |
