Change the Value of a Parameter

Update Parameter Values for a Single Service

Note: when you update a parameter value for a single service, the update applies to that service only. All other services to which the parameter is assigned continue to use the old value.

1. In the main menu, click Command Centre. 

All the services to which you have access are shown, and you can filter them. Two filters are available, and they can be used together or independently.

2. To locate parameters in specific services:

In the Search Services field, begin typing the name of the service and then select the service from the displayed list. In the Search Parameters field, repeat to search for the parameter in the displayed services. Refer to Example of Parameter Searching in the Command Centre Using Both Filters.

To locate specific parameters, searching on all services:

• Leave the Search Services field blank.
• In the Search Parameters field, enter criteria. A list of services which contain parameters fitting the criteria is displayed.

3. Click on a service to view its assigned parameters. Where no parameters matching the search criteria are found, the message 'No parameters found' is displayed against the service.

4. Click the Edit  button against the service whose parameters you want to change. The button changes to blue  to indicate that you are actively editing parameters and remains blue until you either save any edits, click the Cancel button, or click on it to close the drop-down without making any changes.

Tip: you can navigate parameters using the Tab key on your keyboard.

5. Make changes to the relevant parameters, or to reset them to their default values against the service, click the Reset All button.

Note: clicking the Reset All button resets all parameters, with the exception of percentage split parameters, to their default values against the service. To reset a percentage split parameter to its default value, select 'Default' from its drop-down (see example below).

6. Click the Save Changes button when done.

The example below shows values for an enumeration parameter.

For percentage split type parameters, you can change the parameter values, and you can change respective percentages by dragging the Percentage slider. 

Note: values must total 100%.

The example below shows a percentage split parameter which has an enumeration output type.

Use the  Add Value button to include any other configured values you want to set a percentage for, and click the Save Changes button when done.

Parameter Mass Update

This procedure describes how to update the value of multiple parameters at once, for one or more services. Filtering the services before you make the mass update will improve service retrieval.

Note: you are notified if none of the selected services contain the specified parameters.

1. In the main menu, click Command Centre.
2. Optionally, in the Search Services field, filter the services. (You can add more services, or remove services, in the Mass Update panel, as described later in this section.

3. Click the Mass Update button.

4. In the Services field, all services you have access to are automatically selected or, if you have filtered the services in step 2, only the filtered services are included.

5. Optionally, click the Services drop-down list and use the check boxes to add or remove services, then click the Save button when done.

Note: you must select at least one service.

6. To add parameters, click the Parameters drop-down list and use the check boxes to add parameters, then click the Save button when done.

Only the parameters that exist in the selected services will be updated.

7. Make any changes to the parameter values.

8. Click the Save Changes button.
