To Create Table-restricted Value Parameters
1. Click
Tools >
Parameters. The
Parameters dialog box opens. You can choose to select a restricted value parameter or a table restricted parameter.
2. Click
to insert a restricted value parameter.
a. Under the Restricted column, click the cell for a parameter to make the parameter a restricted parameter.
b. Click the Name cell and either type a name or select a name from a list of predefined parameter names. The type of the parameter is automatically selected. The list contains the following:
▪ Parameter names in the restriction definition file that are not table-restricted.
▪ Table names (set labels) that are declared in the restriction definition file.
c. Select a table name from the list. The Restricted Parameter Set dialog box opens displaying the contents of the selected table.
Alternatively, click Parameters > Add Restricted Parameter Set in the Parameters dialog box to insert a table restricted parameter set directly. The Restricted Parameter Set dialog box opens displaying the contents of the selected table.
3. Select any cell in the restricted parameters table to add the corresponding parameter set. All parameters that are defined for the selected set or row are automatically created and assigned the corresponding values.
If you select the parameter name, the table is sorted based on the values of the corresponding parameter. If the parameter values are defined by a range, the values are sorted by the default value.
4. Click Apply to add all defined set parameters and set labels with values defined in the selected set or row.
|  The parameters with a null value are also added. |
5. Click OK.
| You can use the external parameter definition file to automatically create Annotation Element parameters. The Annotation Element parameters can either be regular or restricted parameters if they are defined in the restriction definition file. |
