Adding a parameter

1. Right-click the section in the expandable tree pane you want to add the parameter to.
2. Choose Add Parameter from the shortcut menu.
3. The section name pre populates the Parameter Details pane. Type the name of the parameter you want to add in the Parameter text box.

4. Two shortcuts exist to reach this step:

   • Locate the section for the new parameter in the expandable tree pane, click it, then enter a new parameter name in the Parameter text box of the Parameter Details pane. The Computer Setup Editor activates the add button.
   • Navigate the Help reference topics within the help pane to locate the topic for the parameter to be added to the parameter tree, and click the relevant topic. The Computer Setup Editor populates the Parameter Details pane. (In the case of Driver parameter reference topics - click on the Add Parameter Wizard link to populate the Parameter Details pane.)
4. Enter the value for this parameter in the value field.

5. The Parameter Details pane changes to reflect the type the parameter:

   • If the parameter has a path value a Browse button becomes available to help you set this parameter.
   • If the parameter has a Boolean value, a Toggle button becomes available to help you set this parameter.
   • If the parameter has a string value, the button to the left of the field becomes unavailable. Type the value in the Value field.
5. Click Add to add the new parameter to the parameter tree.

6. The new parameter appears in the parameter tree. It is highlighted as the currently selected entry, and its Help appears in the help pane.

   If the parameter being added to the tree belongs to a section yet to be defined in the tree, both the section and parameter are added to the parameter tree when you click Add.

   If the parameter being added to the parameter tree is an undocumented parameter, it appears in the parameter tree. However, if you hide undocumented parameters, you'll only be able to see parameters when you view undocumented parameters. See To show undocumented parameters:for details.
