+### Define variables
 
-First, define the main variables for your configuration. 
+This workflow step includes the list of Zowe variables for configuration and as well as sub-steps.
 
-![Step1.1: Define variables](../images/zosmf/workflow-APIMLdefineMainVariables.png)
+1. Expand **Define variables**.
 
-After you complete defining the main variables for your configuration, define all ports for automatically enabled API ML services.
