Data Parameter tokens provide a shortcut to a column of data in a data set (Figure 12.44).

 

 

 

 

 

Data Parameter tokens are normally used for evaluating numeric data from a parameter in a custom token, for instance, the mean value of a particular parameter (Figure 12.45).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Upon choosing to insert a Data Parameter token, the Create Data Parameter dialog will open (Figure 12.46).

 

The following properties can be edited for Data Parameter tokens, by right-clicking on the token:

 

•Display Text - defines if the token should display the Token Value (default), Token Description, or a user-defined Text.

•Font - changes the font depending on the value of the token based on a list of classifications

•Data Source - identifies the plot that determines Token Value

•Number Format - assigns the number of decimals and number display options

•Parameter
