Decimal places

  • Only available for decimal parameters. Controls the decimal precision of the parameter value.
  • Use the following structure: "Minimum Decimal Value:Maximum Decimal Value", for example "2:2" or "4:6".
  • When no value is specified, the default value from ANY Setup applies.

Scope

  • Process parameters are available during the process's lifecycle, starting from the activity where they are first used, or from the start of the process when they have an initial value. They go out of scope when the process changes.
  • Stack parameters are available from the first activity they are used until they reach the same activity again. They are not available on that activity but initialise again when it is reached. They have a sliding scope: when the same parameter is modified in a later activity, it attaches to that activity and initialises when that later activity is reached.
