Create a parameter list

When you create a graphic display that has tag placeholders, you can specify a parameter list that will supply tag or folder names, or parts of tag names, for the tag placeholders. At runtime, you can use a parameter list to replace the tag placeholders with whatever string you have defined for the placeholder.
The parameter list option appears on various tabs of the
Properties
dialog boxes for the objects that use them, for example, the
States
tab of the Display Selector object, and the
General
tab of the Logout button object, and in the
Initial graphics
 option in the
Startup
editor.
To create a parameter list
  1. Open the
    Properties
    dialog box of the object or the
    Startup
    editor and click the
    Parameter list
     button.
  2. Click the browse button (...) to open the
    Tag Browser
    .
  3. Select the first tag or folder to add to the list and click
    OK
    .
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each additional tag in the list. Each tag in the parameter list text box is separated from the previous tag by a comma.
    TIP:
    of a tag in a parameter list to pass a parameter forward from one display to another display that opens from it.
    The first tag in the list will replace #1 in the display expressions, the second tag in the list will replace #2, and so on. A parameter list stays with the object when it is copied or duplicated.
