Parameters

Operational Parameters are parameters used to customize Routing Strategies. In Operational Parameter Management, the Service Provider defines Parameters and groups them into Parameter Group Templates. Tenants to whom the Parameter Group Templates are subsequently deployed customize the values of the Parameters, which are then read by a Routing Strategy and incorporated into the call flow.

This screen displays a list of all defined Parameters for which you have the required role privileges to view. To refresh the list at any time, click Refresh. Click a Parameter in the list. Its properties, including its type, is displayed to the right of the list. You can filter the contents of this list in several ways:

  • Type the name or partial name of the Parameter, Key, Type, or Tenant in the Quick Filter field.
  • Click the Tenant Filter button (the icon with the circle and horizontal bar) to open the Tenant filter panel. In this panel, click the checkbox(es) beside the tenants that you want to select. Use the Quick Filter field in this panel to filter the tenant list.
  • You can sort the Parameter in the list by clicking on a column head. Clicking a column head a second time reverses the sort order.

Properties of Parameters
Property Description
Display Name The name of the Parameter. It must be unique in the system.

Optionally, when Configuration Object is selected, you can check the checkbox named Multiple Types to select multiple configuration objects to add to this Parameter. If the checkbox named Global is checked, a separate panel will open to allow you to select which tenants will receive the Parameter.

Custom List

Custom Value

These properties apply only to Parameters of type Custom List and specify the members of the Custom List. Define the list, as follows:
  • To add an item to the list, enter it in the Custom Value edit box, and click Add.
  • To modify an item in the list, select the value, make the change, and click OK.
Important
If you want the display value of an item in the Custom List to be different from the actual value stored in the transaction object, enter that information in the Key field.
  • To remove an item from the list, select it, and click Delete.

  • For integers, dates, and times, you can define minimum and/or maximum values (limits).
Mandatory Specifies whether the Parameter is mandatory or optional. If checked, a value must be entered for this Parameter before it is saved. If not checked, the Parameter is considered optional and can be saved without a value. This property can be modified later (for example, to change a mandatory Parameter to an optional Parameter).
Global If checked, this Parameter is unique in the entire system and is shared across all tenants. Its actual value must be defined at the time of creation, and can be changed only by the Service Provider.
