About Parameter Levels

The Parameters table allows you to load parameter sets for each parameter level. The three columns: Signup Default, Current Context, and Current Scenario.

You can choose to display the Signup Default column only or both the Signup Default and Current Context columns only when you load your default set of rules. The rules are loaded into the rightmost column in the table.

Perform any of the following steps with the Parameters tab open:

  • To display the Signup Default column only with the Parameter column, click BlockBuster > Parameter Level > Signup. Load a set of rules that will apply to all service groups.
  • To display the Signup Default and the Current Context columns only with the Parameter column, click BlockBuster > Parameter Level > Division/Servicegroup. Load a set of rules that will apply to the selected service group.
  • To display all three columns with the Parameter column, click BlockBuster > Parameter Level > ExceptionCombo/Scenario.
Note: All three columns: Signup Default, Current Context, and Current Scenario must be displayed prior to performing your runcut.

The following table explains the columns in the table:

Parameter Parameters associated with the selected Group > Group Member > Situation
Signup Default This is not required to be set. It refers to the set of rules assigned as the default and applies to all service types.
Current Context

This is not required to be set, however, loading a default set of rules into this column is helpful when you:

Configure a new scenario in any service − The system uses the Current Context values to fill in the Current Scenario column.

Compare parameters − For example, compare the Current Scenario to the Current Context.

You can load the set of rules from a saved scenario or a parameter file for each service group.

Current Scenario

The Current Scenario values can be filled in by either creating a New Scenario (copies from the Current Context), loading from a saved file, or importing from another scenario. The values can then be altered to achieve your desired results.

Only the values in the Current Scenario level are used in runcutting.
