Components Input and Output Parameters

Prev Next

You can define the input and output parameters for your components.
The input parameters are the values the component expects to receive when being run. The output parameters are the values that the component is expected to provide as output.

To define the input and output parameters for a component-

  1. Open the Component in ScriptBuilder.

  2. Use the Menu button to select Parameters.

  3. Use the Add buttons to add input and output parameters. The values defined here will be used only for debug runs.
    You can review the parameters defined for a component by clicking on the Parameters tab for your component. Select the Graphical Mode display to view the hierarchy of how components are nested.
     

   

Utilizing Component Parameters

If component input and output parameters were defined, you must define the values for the parameters in the Run component instruction.

The actual values are defined in the script where the component is nested.
You can populate the component parameters with hard-coded values or use datasets from the script to populate them.
