The context variable stored in the repository can be applied to a Routelet the same way as to any other Routes.

In addition, a Route containing a Routelet allows its Routelet to use different context variables from those the Route is using.

For more information on how to apply a context variable to a Route from the repository, see [Applying Repository context variables to a Job or Route](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/studio-user-guide/8.0/applying-repository-context-variables-to-job-or-route).
