Parameterize Report Templates

Use the Parameters Browser to parameterize the contents of a session file or report template and automate a variety of analysis processes.

The reality of automation is that it is not always desirable to re-apply automation scripts exactly as they were originally defined. To remedy this, the Parameters Browser, used with report templates, includes a graphical user interface for defining parameters that can be changed when an automation script is executed. After the parameters are defined, you can save the automation script and run it from the Flexible Report Templates dialog.

The Parameters Browser displays all windows and pages in the current session, including the attributes assigned to each entity. Under each entity is a list of the entity's attributes. Activating the checkbox next to any attribute includes the attribute as a parameter in the parameter table (located in the lower half of the browser), which is defined or kept in its default state when the process is re-run. To display the browser, click View > Parameter Browser in any client beside HyperMesh.
