Table-Type Parameters

Defining table-type parameters is a two-step process performed by:

• Defining the table structure
• Setting the values

To define the table structure:

1. In the Parameter Structure Editor page, select Table in the Type drop-down list.
2. Click Add Column. A column is added to the table:
   • In the Name field, type the name of the column
   • In the Type field, select the type of the column from the drop-down list
   • In the Default field, type the desired default value
3. Repeat step 2 for each column you want to add.
4. Click OK. The table structure is completed and the Parameters tab is updated with the new parameter.

To set the table values:

1. Click next to the parameter. The Table Details page opens.
2. Click Add Row to append an additional row.
3. Fill in the required values.

   Notes:

   • The index column has a unique value for each row.
   • Table parameter index keys are accessed by the Business-Logic module as textual strings and are sorted as in a dictionary (e.g. "10" and "11" precede "2").
   • The table can have up to 120 entries.
4. Click to view or edit the table in an MS Excel worksheet.

   Note: Microsoft Excel 2000 or later is required in order to use this feature.
