Forms of Event and Command Parameters

Parameters of character type can be one of the following forms:

  • Single parameter

    The parameter must be unique within the definition.

  • Multivalue

    The parameter name does not have to be unique within the definition. Multiple instances of a multivalue parameter can be defined; each instance has a different value.

  • Group of subparameters

    The group parameter name must be unique within the definition, but multiple parameter instances can be defined, each specifying a unique subparameter. For instance, if you have parameters called Filter.A and Filter.B, then A and B are subparameters of the group parameter Filter.

The following table illustrates the usage of parameters of the three forms of character fields. Parameters must be specified in a form similar to what is shown in this table.
