Parameters
We have explored the concept of Parameters here. We likened them to the controls of a machine. Changing the parameters can have an impact on the results created by the Rule.
If the Tile you are looking at contains any parameters a {} Parameters (#) tab will show at the top of the Tile Configuration screen. The # highlights the number of Parameters in the Tile. Clicking on this Tab will open a configuration screen showing you the Parameters present in the Tile.
This screen can also be accessed by clicking on the {} that sits atop any Tile containing Parameters providing a quick way to view these values.
Each parameter view contains four elements:
Parameter Name: Description of the parameter
Global Flag : Highlighting whether this specific parameter is linked to a Global Parameter. More details on Global Parameters can be found here. Remember that Global Parameters can confer data type validation on values entered or restrict the editing of the value. It also allows us to add appropriate Wizards to aid data entry.
Value: Depending on the Global Parameter configurations set for this Parameter you may be able to see and edit the value. Once you change a parameter the change is immediate even if the Rule has not been saved.
