Dataset Parameters

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.

Pre-established dataset parameters can be included and modified in the software.
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.
