Use the Configuration Editor to specify parameters.
Before you begin
Parameters allow you to reuse a command set because each
time the command set is applied, you can specify what you want the
value of a parameterized value to be. Parameters can be used for both
the value you are trying to match and the value you are using to replace.
The
user applying the command set is prompted to provide values for any
parameterized fields.
Note: Parameters can be applied only to
text fields and editable combo boxes. You can also enter a default
value for any parameterized field.
About this task
To specify parameters, follow these steps.
Procedure
- Starting in “Replace” mode, click the command in the configuration
catalog.
The command is shown in the right pane.
- Click the command check box in the right pane.
- Place your cursor in the field you are trying to add, delete,
or change.
- Enter a default value if desired (optional), then click
the Parameter icon to mark the command as being a parameter.
The
Parameter Name dialog box displays.
- Type a name for this parameter. A name is particularly
useful if you will be using the command set from the API.
The
parameter icon is added to the command in the configuration catalog
on the left side of the Configuration Editor.
- If you are modifying a text field, and you wish to use
a parameter for the value being matched, click the Match/Replace icon
to switch to old values (the value you want to match).
- Enter a default value if desired (optional), then click
the Parameter icon to mark the command as being a parameter.
