Setting a Method of Determining Value

If you are defining a Parameter in the context of a Workflow or Report Set, you have a choice between the following methods of determining the Parameter value. You must choose one.

If you are defining a Parameter for a Program that is not part of a Workflow or Report Set, getting the Parameter's value from another Parameter is not possible and this choice does not appear.

  • Define Value. The Parameter's value must be set manually; either here, or in the Execution Setup, or at runtime. You can specify one of several ways to determine allowable value(s). See Defining Allowed Values.

  • Get Value From Another Parameter. You can set up value propagation within a Workflow or Report Set so that this Parameter receives its value from another Parameter in the same Workflow or Report Set. See Setting Up Value Propagation from the Target Parameter.
