Visuals - Parameters
From VersaVision Support
Parameters are only available on Widgets. This feature is used to make a Widget universal by allowing the user to define what is to be used.
An example of this would be setting a "Station Name" parameter to allow the user to provide the name of the station/location. This would allow the user to use 1 Widget for an infinite number of Dashboards.
Parameters can be accessed by clicking on the Parameters button.
This page show the options for a Parameter and Deleting a Parameters.
With a new or existing widget opened, click on the Parameters button.

On the Parameters window click on the Add Parameter button to create a new parameter for the Widget.
A new Parameter Properties section will load on the page. There are 3 sections associated with a Parameter. Click on the down arrow in the Type Field.
There are 2 options available on the list - select the appropriate option for the Parameter being setup.
- Text - this option indicates that the Parameter is only going to be a Text field.
- Tag - this option allows the user to select a Tag for the Parameter. This can be a Location, Monitoring Point or Combination.
Select the Name field to enter a name for the Parameter. This is what the user will see when using the Widget. Enter an appropriate name for the Parameter.
- NOTE - a name must be uppercase letters or numbers. When a space is required, the user must use and underscore "_"
Select the Description field to enter a description for the Parameter. This is an optional field, please use when needed.
If the user selected the Type as TAG, they will see 5 options available. These options allow the user to minimize the number of Tags shown to the user.
Example - do not need to show Monitoring Point tags if the purpose of the Parameter is to get the Location.
Use the toggle to Hide a specific Tag type.
- Hide Advanced - this would disable the users ability to type in a custom tag query.
- Hide Module Tag Filters - this will hide any tags associated with a module configuration.
- Hide Module Location Filters - this will hide any tags associated with module locations.
- Hide Monitoring Point Tag Filters - this will hide any added tags for all Monitoring Points. Example would be Supervisor, Maintenance, etc.
- Hide Monitoring Type Filters - this will hide all default type filters. Example would be type_alert, type_process, type_count, etc.
