Decimal Places

  • Only available for decimal parameters, controls the decimal precision that the parameter value will have
  • It needs to have the following structure "Minimum Decimal Value:Maximum Decimal Value", ex. "2:2", "4:6"
  • If there is no value specified, the default value from ANY Setup will be used

Scope

  • Process parameters are available during the process’ life cycle starting from the activity they are first used or when they have an initial value, from the start of the process. They are 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 will be initialized again. They have a sliding scope, meaning that when the same parameter is modified in a later activity, the parameter will be attached to that activity, and will be initialized when the later activity is reached.
