Business Parameters (Product menu)
Business parameters are configuration sets that can be used on services' endpoints, in the process of building an app in Studio, or in a transaction flow. They are different from System parameters, which affect the system environment and are pre-configured in the database.
The Business Parameters page in the Product menu ( Product> Processes > Parameters) shows business parameters created in the Catalog that have been assigned a value for a particular product. This means that, before configuring a value, you must select the desired product from the drop-down menu.
From this page, you can edit parameters' values for the selected product and assign new product-specific values to parameters from the catalog. If you want to edit or assign global parameter values instead, go to System menu > Processes > Parameters.
