Parameter configuration - control the behaviour and display

Individual parameter configuration - behaviour and display

Depending on the data type - and hence the nature of the values - the system can be configured with certain rules and formatting. Below is shown the different possibilities under the individual data types.  

Text

Grid Column Behaviour

1. Should the values be editable by the user?
2. Should the value be hidden?

Form Field Behaviour

1. Do you want it to be free text (field or area) or should the user pick from a list of values? Can they choose more than one value?
2. Do you want a default value? (as the value in this parameter is very often the same)

Numeric

Grid Column Behaviour

1. Should the values be editable by the user?
2. Should the value be hidden (and maybe used in calculations (see Math) behind the scenes)?
3. Do you want an extra column with a “sign” like “>” ?
4. Would you like the system to colour the values after a rule? Could be IF value > 9000 colour red:

Form Field Behaviour

1. Is a default value relevant here?
2. Precision:12.3456 with precision of 4 => 12.35
3. Significant figures:
4. Scientific notation: 650,000,000 => 6.5 x 10^8
