What is a Custom Parameter?

A custom Parameter is a user created Parameter in the cloud. Custom Parameters are defined by user created equations using the default parameters in the cloud.

How to Create Custom Parameters

1. Navigate to the cloud, and click Settings.
   
   
2. Select the Parameters tab in the Settings Menu.
   
   
3. Select List Custom Parameters.
   
   
4. Select Add Custom Parameter.
   
   
5. Enter in the name of the new custom parameter.
   
   
6.  Insert the parameters you would like to be calculated into the Calculation box with the calculation symbols needed. Type the parameters as you would normally see them in a widget, and Openfield will display it in the programming language for selection. For example:
   
   "Velocity Band 5 Total Distance + Velocity Band 6 Total Distance"
   
   will show as:
   
   "$velocity_band5_total_distance+$velocity_band6_total_distance”
   
   Note: You can also find the Parameters from the drop down menu beneath the Calculation box. Once the Parameter is selected from the drop down menu. Select Add Parameter to Calculation.
   
   
7. To finish, click Add Parameter. Refresh the browser and the custom parameter will be available to select in widgets.
