About Parameter Definitions

This topic orients you with the properties you specify to create parameters and how to look up objects and values to specify as the default value of a parameter.

Property Types

You specify two types of properties to create a parameter, as shown below:

  • General properties, such as user prompt and sort order, that are common to all parameter types.

  • Data source properties that are parameter type-specific. These properties define the value or objects to apply with the parameter or the prompt options that users can select at runtime.
