How to Configure a Parameter Set in a Taskflow

Parameter set requirements

You can reuse parameter sets across taskflows. You can also define parameters for Subtaskflow steps in a taskflow. To reuse a parameter set, define local and global parameters within a parameter set.

You can group parameters in different sections of the parameter set. Each section is preceded by a heading that identifies the project, folder, and assets to which you want to apply the parameter values. You define parameters directly below the heading, entering each parameter on a new line.

The following table describes the headings that define each section in the parameter set and the scope of the parameters that you define in each section:

Heading	Description
#USE_SECTIONS	Use this heading as the first line of a parameter set that contains sections. Otherwise, the taskflow reads only the first global section and ignores all other sections.
[Global]	Defines parameters for all projects, folders, taskflows, ans Subtaskflow steps.
[project name].[folder name].[taskflow name] -or- [project name].[taskflow name]	Defines parameters for a specific taskflow. If a parameter is defined in a taskflow section and in a global section, the value in the taskflow section overrides the global value. If a parameter value is not defined in the taskflow section, the global value is considered.
[project name].[folder name].[taskflow name].[subtaskflow step name] -or- [project name].[taskflow name].[subtaskflow step name]	Defines parameters for a specific Subtaskflow step. If a parameter is defined in a Subtaskflow step section and in a global section, the value in the Subtaskflow step section overrides the global value. If a parameter is defined in a Subtaskflow step section and in a taskflow section, and the taskflow uses the Subtaskflow step, the value in the Subtaskflow step section is considered. If a parameter value is not defined in the Subtaskflow step or in the taskflow section, the global value is considered.

If the parameter set does not contain sections, the taskflow reads all parameters as global.

Precede the parameter name with two dollar signs, as follows:

$$<parameter>

Define parameter values as follows:

$$<parameter>=value1

$$<parameter2>=value2

The parameter value includes any characters after the equals sign (=), including leading or trailing spaces. Parameter values are treated as string values.
