Creating a Business Parameter

You can add a business parameter from the Project Navigator

To add a business parameter:

  1. Expand Organization in the Project Navigator.
  2. If possible, expand Business Parameters (). Any existing business parameters will be listed. If you cannot expand, no business parameters are defined.
  3. Right-click on Business Parameters, and select New from the context menu. The Business Parameter dialog box will appear.
  4. Input the name of the business parameter in the Name field and click OK to add it. Business parameter names are must be all upper case and the first character cannot be a number. Underscores are allowed. The new business parameter is created. An editor for it will open.
  5. In the business parameter editor, select the data type of the parameter in the Type drop-down list. Data type choices are Bool, Int, Real, Time, Decimal, and String.
  6. Enter a value for the whole organization in the Organization Value field. You can override this value for individual organizational units in the next step.
  7. You can add values by organizational unit by clicking Add in the Organizational Units pane, and adding the desired organizational unit from the Organizational Units dialog box. For each organizational unit, specify a value in the Values column of the Organizational Units table.
  8. Save the business parameter.

The new business parameter has been defined.
