No. It cannot be used in different mappings as when it is saved in the repository, it is saved for a particular mapping. And at global level we have mapping parameters only and not variables which cannot be changed.

Tapas

The scope of a mapping variable is the mapping in which it is defined. A variable Var1 defined in mapping Map1 can only be used in Map1. You cannot use it in another mapping say Map2.
