Description	Optional element that affects the behavior of parameter selecting by enforcing a selection and/or limiting the number of selections.
Attributes	error-message, name, value

Example

In the example, the data is filtered three ways: by business date (busDate), location name (locName), and revenue center name (rvc). These parameters are options when running a report in Reporting and Analytics, found within Edit Parameters.

In the advanced editor, you can view the parameters listed under the subject area selected for this query. Possible parameters and parameter names are shown with a Parameter tag in the subject area list on the left. Use the alias name of the column within the name attribute.

The parameter options used in this specific example limit the total number of business dates that can be selected to 7, limit the total number of locations that can be selected to 1, cause the parameter options to be shown when the report is run, and will force the user to select a location before running the report.
