Bringing a js variable to GA as Custom Dimension

This is equivalent to creating a trigger which executes a code which sends a existing js variable over to Google Analytics.

• Trigger: it has to be a click on a button
• Code: this is what is called a Tag in Google Analytics lingo
• Variable: it can be a static or dynamic js variable
• Google Analytics: a custom dimention or metrics set up in GA

About Tags
A GTM tag is a piece of JavaScript code that sends information to a third party, such as Google Analytics.
With Google Tag Manager, you no longer need to maintain each of these JavaScript snippets in your source code. Instead, you specify the tags that you want to fire, and when you want them to fire, from within the Google Tag Manager user interface.

Triggers and Trigger Types
A trigger is a condition that evaluates to either true or false at runtime. Triggers attached to a tag govern when the tag is fired or not fired.
A tag must have at least one trigger in order to fire. Triggers are evaluated during runtime and associated tags are fired (or not fired) when the trigger conditions are met. For example, a tag with a trigger based on a pageview event with the following filter will be fired on the example.com home page: url equals example.com index.html

Tags, Triggers, and Variables click are the key elements of TM.
A tag is a piece of code that sends information to a third party, such as Google Analytics.
A trigger is a condition that evaluates to either true or false at runtime. Triggers attached to a tag govern when the tag is fired or not fired.
Variables are name-value pairs for which the value is populated during runtime. Variables are used in triggers and in tags. In tags, variables are used to capture dynamic values (e.g.: passing the transaction value and products purchased to a conversion tracking tag). In triggers, they are used to define filters that specify when a particular should be executed (e.g.: to execute a pageview trigger when the url variable is “example.com/index.html”).
