Dataset Parameters are defined in the Provision and Estimated Payments datasets under Data Input > Dataset > Administration and for the Interim dataset under Data Input > Actual > Dataset > Administration. Administrators use dataset parameters to change how data is treated or represented within a dataset.
| • | When including or modifying parameters, use care as calculations may change across all the units in the dataset. Parameters are pre-defined and case-sensitive. The Key Type and Value have specific designations for each parameter. |
| • | Deleting parameters is not recommended because they are required for the application to work properly. It is recommended that you select the appropriate Yes or No option for the parameter in order to get the results, needed. |
| • | To import a new dataset parameter, complete the appropriate fields on the #DP# Dataset Params worksheet in the Import Numbers template. |
Dataset Parameters enable you to enter parameters in order to have additional functionality in the software.
To configure a parameter in Dataset Parameters:
| 1. | Select Data Input and then Dataset. |
| 2. | Select Administration and then Dataset Parameters. |
| 3. | In Manage Dataset Parameters, type the Parameter Name. |
| 4. | Select Alphanumeric for Parameter Type and type any letter from B through Z for the Parameter Value. |
Warning: Parameters are generally set up by an Implementation Manager or with the help of the Support team.
