Parametrisation

Usage

You can parametrise input values. And you can read values out of a field and use it as input somewhere else. There are two possibilities to set the value of parameters: static and dynamic.

Static Setting

For static setting, add a parameter node. On the [Parameters Define] tab, define new parameters, their type and initial values. See also Parameters.

Dynamic Setting

In a Html Tag node select the [Action] tab. From the combo box select [set parameter]. Enter the name of the parameter you like to set. Select the attribute, from which the parameter value is to be read. Press [Ok]. If you want to set the parameter with only a part of the attribute value, use regular expressions to extract that part.

Example:
parameter name: myParam
attribute value: "abcDEFghi"
regular expression: "abc(...)"
regular expression group: 1
will set the parameter to "DEF"

Using

You can reference parameters in almost any input fields (if not, drop us a note :-). Use the syntax: ${myParam}

Scope

Parameter have Project scope. This means, the can be accessed and set from everywhere. The are cleared, when a project is restarted from top or when you undefine them.
