The global block within a Splunk SOAR playbook is primarily used to import external packages or
define global variables that will be utilized across various parts of the playbook. This block sets the
stage for the playbook by ensuring that all necessary libraries, modules, or predefined variables are
available for use in subsequent actions, decision blocks, or custom code segments within the
playbook. This practice promotes code reuse and efficiency, enabling more sophisticated and
powerful playbook designs by leveraging external functionalities.
