Adding Parameters to Pages

About this task

The parameters that relate to a page are the heart of the advice context. The content of a particular page is determined by both the page and the parameters that drive the page. For example, in order to display advice on the Person Home page, the Person_home page ID was specified when that page was added to the advice context. However, to make the advice context truly context sensitive, the page parameter for the Person Home page must also be added. The page parameter for the Person Home page is the concernRoleID. The concernRoleID page parameter enables the advice displayed at the case level to be truly context sensitive by narrowing the advice context to apply to the home page for a specific person.

To add a parameter to a page:

Procedure

  1. Select the New Page Parameter menu item to open the New Parameter dialog.
  2. In the dialog, enter the name of the parameter, e.g., concernRoleID.
  3. Select the parameter type from the Type drop-down list, e.g., number, date, string.
  4. Click Save.
