Using the Packager for Windows › Parameter Archive › Client Parameters Window › Default Object

Default Object

The default object is located at the top level of the tree and contains all parameters. Right-click the default object to display the three shortcut menu options:

Add Group

Creates a group object that inherits the default values.

Add PC

Creates a PC object that inherits the parameter values of the closest object hierarchically in the tree (default or group).

Create parameter product

Passes on the client parameters as an SXP product in the product archive.

To administer default parameters

1. Select the default object in the left pane.
2. Select a specific parameter in the right pane
3. Right-click the parameter and select one of the following options from the context menu:

   Add parameter

   Creates a parameter in the default object.

   Edit parameter

   Modifies the values, range, and the description of a parameter.

   Delete parameter

   Deletes a parameter from the default object.

   Create parameter product

   Passes the client parameters as an SXP product in the product archive.

You must first assign default values, and then, if needed, assign either group-specific or computer-specific deviations from the defaults. Group-specific values take precedence over default values, and computer-specific values take precedence over both default values and group-specific values.

Important! If you delete a parameter from the default section, that parameter is no longer available for any new group or PC objects. In addition, the deleted parameter is removed from any existing group and PC objects.
