The Subject Wizard - Parameter Values window allows you to determine how DataPA populates input parameters for business logic procedures. DataPA gives you two options for populating business logic parameters, to always pass the same fixed value, or to prompt the user for a value each time a query is run.

To specify that DataPA should use a fixed value to populate a parameter when a query is run, select the parameter in the list view, and select the Use fixed values as parameter option. The rest of the Fixed value panel gives details of the fixed value that will be passed. The screen will change based on the parameter type

To specify that DataPA should prompt the user for a value for a parameter each time a query is run, select the parameter in the list view and select the Prompt user for parameter value option. You must also enter the settings for the required value.

The Required Value Name is the Name or Label that will be displayed when the user is prompted to enter a value at Query run time.

The Required Value Description is the description or help message that will be displayed when the user is prompted to enter a value at Query run time.

By putting a tick in the Mandatory check box, you can determine whether or not the user is forced to enter a value when running a Query based on this Subject. A Non-Mandatory condition gives the user the option to Skip entering a value when running a Query based on the Subject.

The Lookup allows the selection of a Lookup to display when the user is prompted to enter a value at Query run time.  The Add button will open the Lookup Wizard to allow the creation of a new lookup.

If any Required Values are entered sample values will have to be entered after pressing Next in the Test Execution Parameters screen.
