The Parameters tab allows you to add, modify, and delete parameters that are specific to the selected work definition, and to view parameters that are inherited from an associated work definition segment.

Work process segment parameters are inherited by associated work definition segments. If you add, modify, or delete a work process segment parameter, all associated work definition segments are also affected.

The following table describes the attributes specific to this resource type.

Attribute	Value	Description
List	User-defined	Displays a list of parameters for the selected resource that can be arranged by name, type, and so on, depending on the parameter. These parameters can be inherited from another resource or created for the current resource.
Add Parameter	N/A	Click to add a new parameter.
Delete Selection	N/A	Click to remove the selected parameter.
Name	User-defined alphanumeric string (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) up to 50 characters	Specifies a display name for the selected parameter.
Description	User-defined alphanumeric string (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) up to 255 characters	Provides more information about a parameter that a user may find helpful.
Data Type	System-defined	Specifies the data type of the parameter. This parameter cannot be changed if it is inherited from another resource.
Value	User-defined alphanumeric string (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) up to 255 characters	Specifies the value for the selected data type. Valid values depend on the selected data type.
