To specify a variable in a query, enclose it in quotation marks with curly braces with a leading percent. For example: `"%{ci_environment_slug}"`.
There are 2 methods to specify a variable in a query or dashboard:
1. Variables can be specified using the [Liquid template format](https://help.shopify.com/en/themes/liquid/basics), for example `{{ci_environment_slug}}` ([added](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/merge_requests/20793) in GitLab 12.6).
1. You can also enclose it in quotation marks with curly braces with a leading percent, for example `"%{ci_environment_slug}"`. This method is deprecated though and support will be [removed in the next major release](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/37990).
