Identification
Use the fields in this section to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters. After you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.
You can save query parameters for later reuse or for running the process as a scheduled job.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Parameter ID |
Enter a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made on the screen. When you save your record, all the selections made on the screen are stored with the parameter ID. You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. After the default selections display on the screen, you can override the defaults. |

Enter a parameter description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters. Note: Parameter ID and Description are only required if Job Management will be used to run the process.
