Set Global Parameter

The information on this page relates to the new upgraded interface of the IConduct platform. To view information about the Classic version of the user interface, follow this link.

 

This step allows you to automate the use of global parameters and set them as values to replace selected schema columns. Global parameters are called using the following format, “##parameter##” and can be used in any entity in the system. These parameters are not recorded in the schema. They are located in the Admin Navigation tree in the Global Parameters folder.

Global parameters can be used instead of interface parameters in cases when a parameter needs to be used across several interfaces or in connections. Global parameters are also universal regarding the use and can be called for in nearly every field in the system. For example, they can be called for passwords, dates, or even queries.
