    1: Scheduling Script Parameters Overview

    Scheduling script parameters that were added to the Parameters tab (go to Creating Parameters for more information) and then applied to the scheduling script actions, can be observed on the Scheduling Parameters tab of the Survey Information view. The supervisor can modify these parameter values from the Scheduling Parameters tab.

    Note that no more than 30 parameters can be added to a single scheduling script.

    Note: Scheduling script parameters modified on this tab are applied only for the current survey - this operation does not change the default parameter values.

    The default parameter values remain unaltered until the supervisor opts to change them (go to Creating Parameters for more information).

    2: Editing Scheduling Script Parameters for the Current Survey

    1. Go to the Navigation > Surveys menu item to display the list of surveys in the top frame.
    2. Right-click the required survey and choose View from the shortcut menu, or click the View icon on the toolbar.

      3. The survey properties are displayed in the bottom frame of the browser window.

    3. Go to the Scheduling Parameters tab.

      4. Viewing the parameter settings of the scheduling script currently used with the survey

      Note that the tab will be empty if no parameters are applied to the scheduling script. If any parameters are used with the scheduling script actions the grid will contain the list of these parameters (as in the image above).

    4. Select the parameter you want to edit and either double-click it or click the Edit icon on the tab toolbar, or right-click the parameter in the grid and choose Edit from the context menu that appears.

      5. The Edit Parameter dialog opens.

      Editing scheduling script parameter from the Scheduling Parameters tab

      This dialog displays the values that are currently used with the parameter you are modifying. All fields are accessible for editing.

    5. Edit the fields as required and click Save to save the new values, or click Cancel to close the dialog and discard any changes.

    3: Reverting Values of all the Parameters Used with the Scheduling Script to their Defaults

    Click the Reset to default values icon on the toolbar.

    ALL parameter values are reset to their defaults. The default values are the values that are currently specified on the Parameters tab of the scheduling script which is used with the survey (go to Creating Paramaters for more information).

    Important: You cannot change the default parameter value itself from the Scheduling Parameters tab - here you can only specify another value for use with the current survey. Default parameter values can only be set using the Parameters tab of the scheduling script view.
