Displaying A Parameter Text Box

If checked, this option supersedes all other values included in the Specified values option, on the Values tab of the Settings window modal. Instead, the user enters a parameter value they want to use at runtime, or search for data that matches certain values.. It creates a simple search box filter.

  1. In application View mode, hover over a filter that is already added to the application, until the controls appear on the top right.
