A parameter is a set of values that belong to a certain article or product order. It can be defined as the directly measurable properties of a product (e.g., its color, its dimension, etc.).
A parameter consists of 2 elements: the parameter’s key (the parameter’s name) and value (the parameter’s attribute – which can be qualitative or quantitative). Please have a look at the image at the bottom of this webpage to see an example of several parameter keys and values.
A parameter can also be defined as a mathematical combination of numbers and letters that make up a parameter formula.
This way, crucial information can be linked to a specific article or product order. This is aimed to make your production process as precise as possible.
Parameters can then be used, for example, to make visual variables based on an article or product order, automatic completion of certain templates, and many more.
In the next guide webpages, we will explore on how to use this handy feature.
Note: If the parameter key consists of 2 or more words, then you should use an underscore sign in between the words, as shown above.
