Parameters Configuration window

Excel > CCH® Tagetik > Design > open form > Manage Parameters

Purpose of window

This window allows you to manage the run parameters of the current form.

Note: this window does not show process-type parameters or dimensional parameters on the period that allow OR clauses, as they are functional to the configuration of the parameters but not directly supported by the forms.

Window sections

Element	Description
List of parameters	Shows a list of the current form’s system, shared and ad hoc parameters and allows you to insert any parameters that are not present into the form as filters. The system automatically labels a manually inserted element as Overridden.
Parameter management section	- Allows you to manage the parameters associated with the current form. The default parameters are grouped as follows: - Prompt parameters: these affect the editability of a cell when a form is run in data entry mode. When the form is run, in the presence of an entity parameter, for example, all the cells that refer to that parameter are locked for the chosen entity and other users cannot edit the data for that same entity. - Other Parameters: parameters that do not affect cell editability. For example, if an entity parameter of this type is defined, the entity will not be locked for other users in data entry mode

Parameter management buttons in the form

IMPORTANT: the order in which the parameters are displayed has an effect on the parameters that have a relationship of dependency with other parameters. A dependent parameter must necessarily come after the parameter on which it depends.
