Field Descriptions

Identification

Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID.  A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters. Once you save a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.  

You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and consistently. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process. If you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated parameters automatically display as selection defaults. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.

Parameter ID *

Enter, or use Query to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters.  You should choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made in the screen, such as “PERIOD” or “QUARTERLY.”

You can use the parameter to produce reports and run processes more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. Once the default selections display in the screen, you can override the defaults as necessary.
