Create Parameters from an Existing Parameter Set

You can create multiple Parameters at the same time by creating instances of all the Parameters in a Parameter Set. This option appears only the first time you add a Parameter to a Program or other executables. See Defining and Using Parameter Sets.

To create a new Parameter definition from an existing Parameter Set, do the following:

  1. Select Create Parameters from an existing Parameter Set. Additional fields appear.
  2. Click the Search icon for the Definition Source field to locate the Parameter Set that contains the Parameters you need. The Search and Select screen opens.
  3. In the drop-down lists, select the Domain and Application Area in which to search for a Parameter Set.

    If you know the exact name of the Parameter Set, you can enter it in the Name field.

  4. Click Go. The system lists all Parameter Sets that meet the search criteria.
  5. Click the Quick Select icon to select one Parameter Set. The system returns to the Create Parameter Instance screen.
  6. Click Apply. The system returns you to the Parameters subtab of the Program Properties screen and, in the Program, creates instances of all the Parameters in the Parameter Set.

If necessary, you can remove Parameters you do not need by selecting them and clicking Remove.

To continue defining the Parameter, click its hyperlink. Follow instructions for Defining Parameter Details.
