Custom variables 

In previous examples, we have seen how to set the rules, how to use the predefined variables of rules, and so on. Now let's understand what custom variables are. Anything that has $ and the name that describes the node will be a variable that we can use in rule expressions. Say for instance, the value allocated to the UID will, obviously, rely upon which node is being read, since every user ID node will have a unique value doled out to it. The $ variable gives an approach to store the value to the key and reference rule expressions.
