Parameters Definition
Parameters are used throughout the BI application to store values. Although parameters can be created and given a default value in the Admin module, parameters are designed to be set at runtime through the REST APIs.
For example, when creating a report based on an LUI, a filter must be set on the LU's Root table using the Instance ID. Then the filter value is set during the report execution.
