Introduction to Parameters in the AIV application

Parameters allows the user to input the value based on which the data/information will be displayed (Parameters are specific values entered by the user to determine what data to display), when you create a dataset and want to specify certain criteria to display a certain set of data from the dataset, Parameters are used.

For example: In an ordered dataset, a user may want to view only orders in a particular region, or order over a certain amount, or maybe the orders that closed in the last 30 days, the easiest and most efficient ways to manage this is using the parameter for that dataset to filter value based on user input.

Parameters section is located under Master Data from the main menu bar (Only users with Parameters privilege have access to this section)

Parameters tab can be accessed by clicking on Annotations or by clicking on next to the Parameters tab, which will open the Parameters in a new tab.

Parameters provides the user with the following functionality:-
