The scope usually represents the Package name or a Control Flow task name. Here in this case, EnvVariable represents the package name. Refer screenshot #4. To create a variable, follow the below mentioned steps.

  1. Right-click on the package and select Variables. Refer screenshot #1.
  2. On the Variables pane, click the first icon to create a variable. Refer screenshot #2.
  3. By default, the variable will be named Variable. Change the name to FilePath.
  4. By default, the variable data type will be Int32. Change the data type to String.
  5. You can also access the Variables pane from SSIS menu --> Variables. Make sure that you click on the package. Otherwise, the options won't be visible. Refer screenshot #3.

Hope that helps.
