This tab displays the details of the data process project’s parameters.
If no data process project parameters have been configured, an advisory message is displayed.
The tab contains a list of data process project parameters, which consists of a toolbar and a grid.
The toolbar exposes the following options:
•Add new Project Parameter: clicking this button adds a new project parameter to the grid. Its default name is ‘New parameter’ (this value can be incremented to ensure uniqueness).
•Remove selected Project Parameter: clicking this button removes the selected project parameter from the grid. An ‘Are You Sure?’ dialog is not displayed.
The grid contains the following writeable columns:
•Name: provision of a project parameter name is mandatory; the value provided must be unique within the data process project and can be a maximum of 100 characters in length.
•Data Type: this dropdown property exposes the following values:
o DateTime
o Decimal
o Integer
o String (the default)
•Default Value: provision of a default value for the project parameter is optional. However, the property is mandatory if Use list is checked (in which case the value provided must be present in the supplied List Values). The field is supplied with an input mask that is accordant with the parameter's selected Data Type. The property's value is reset if the parameter's Data Type is changed.
•Use List: this checkbox is only enabled when Data Type is set to String. If checked, the List Values field is enabled.
•List Values: this property is enabled when Use List is checked. You can click it to display the Manage List Values dialog. It is mandatory to provide at least one list value.
