Supplied Parameters – Package Group Level

Each extensible document may have parameters that would normally prompt you when you run the file. When running a Parcel Service package group, there is no prompt, so the parameters need to be specified before shipping packages. Supplied parameters are required for the selected extensible document content file and upon processing will cascade through all documents located in the group of packages. This list of parameters defines the values that must be provided to the content file for the file to be executed without user input. These values can be added to the list manually.

Name: Enter the name of the parameter.

Literal Value: Literal value to use for the named parameter.
