Summary

This dialog allows the user to edit and update parameters across the entire project. The dialog can be used to directly edit existing parameters in the project or to configure parameter updates from a linked database (linked via a DbLink, DbLib or SvnDbLib file). Note that these database library link type files include options that control if a parameter is to be updated or not.

Notes

Preventing Parameter Updates

Parameters are prevented from being updated in the following ways:

  • At the individual component parameter level - open the Parameter Properties dialog for a parameter (edit the component, then click the Edit button with the parameter selected), the Allow Synchronization With Library and Allow Synchronization With Database options are used to control if this parameter can be updated. By default, these options are enabled to always allow synchronization with the source library/database. Disable an option to prevent that parameter from being included in an update process.
  • At the database linkage level - the Field Mapping region of the relevant database linkage document (*.DbLink, *.DbLib, or *.SvnDbLib file) includes a number of options that control whether parameters can be updated including Update Values, Add to Design and Remove from Design.
