Global parameters are available to all evaluations used
in a definition. Use this procedure to create global parameters as
part of parameter administration.
Before you begin
A Corrective Action may take parameters from the policy
components to define a command set. For example, a parameter may be
defined in the corrective action for IP Address and be provided to
the corrective action through the compliance policy component. Use
the Parameter Administration window to create
global parameters.
Note: Avoid using the '-' (dash) character
in global parameters if global parameters are to be used in a JavaScript
definition or parameter.
