Work with Parameter Groups

You use the Parameter Groups editor to add, edit, view, and delete the parameter groups.

Add a Parameter Group

You can add a new Parameter Group by using the Add option. The newly created Parameter Group will appear as a nested tab under the Parameter tab of the entities such as Formula Templates, Formula, Recipes, Execution, and Reports.

To add a Parameter Group

1. From the main menu, select Configuration > Parameter Groups to display the Parameter Groups details page.

2. Click the Add button.

3. Enter the Name and Description.

4. Click Update to save the Parameter Group. The Parameter Group is added, and by default, the next incremented position is set. This position specifies the order in which the extensions appear.

Edit a Parameter Group

You can edit the Parameter Groups by updating the details such as name, but the modified name must be unique. Any update to the Parameter Groups will update all the entities that have referenced it.

NOTE: If you rename a group, then the existing Recipes/Formulas using the group still will have the old group name and new Recipes/Formulas using the group will have the new group name.

To edit a Parameter Group

Delete a Parameter Group

You can delete an existing Parameter Group except for the predefined group General.

If the Parameter Group is used anywhere in the system, then the selected parameter group is only marked as deleted and continues to show where it is used with an asterisk (*). A deleted Parameter Group can be re-added. Once you re-add the group, the asterisk (*) is removed.
