The Assert Scalar Variables orchestration component can be used to verify that a variable value is as expected at a particular point in an orchestration pipeline. The component can identify whether the variable is wrong and indicate a failure. Additionally, using the Assert Scalar Variable component can determine whether the pipeline should continue or not. For example, you can use this component to validate that the variables have been correctly passed down from a parent pipeline before running the child processes. Read [Project and pipeline variables](/docs/guides/variables) for more information.

## Properties

<ResponseField name="Name" type="string" required>
  A human-readable name for the component.

<ResponseField name="Assertions" type="column editor">
  Select a variable from the **Input Variable** drop-down. This can be any previously defined pipeline variable or project variable. Enter a value for that variable to be tested against in the **Value** field. To test multiple variables, click **+** to add new rows to the dialog.

  Click the **Text mode** toggle at the bottom of the dialog to open a multi-line editor that lets you add items in a single block. For more information, read [Text mode](/docs/guides/components-overview#text-mode).

  To use grid variables, toggle **Use Grid Variable** on at the bottom of the dialog. For more information, read [Grid variables](/docs/guides/grid-variables).
