Parameters Dialog
The Parameters dialog enables you to define the parameters of an operation, Activity or Interaction. The parameter list is reproduced in code in the order the parameters appear in the parameters list, so use the Up and Down buttons to move parameters into their required positions. Additionally, you can select the Add new to end checkbox to force new parameters to appear at the end of the list instead of the top. Alternatively, you can re-organize the information on the listed parameters using the List Header facilities for reported information.
