#How to Create Parameters - Configuration Guide

You can create new parameters if you have the appropriate permissions.

#To create a parameter:

1. On the Parameters page, click the “Create Parameter” button in the header.

2. A modal “Create Parameter” will appear. Fill in the following sections:

   Parameter Information:

   • Name: Enter a unique name for the parameter (e.g., “BASE_URL”, “API_ENDPOINT”, “TEST_USER”). This field is required and must be at least 3 characters long. The name is used to reference the parameter in test cases and shared steps.
   • Value: Enter the parameter value (e.g., “https://api.example.com”, “test@example.com”). This field is required. For secret parameters, the value will be masked.
   • Description: (Optional) Add a brief description explaining the parameter’s purpose and usage.

   Project Scope (workspace only):

   • Choose the project scope:
     • All Projects: The parameter is available in all projects
     • Selected Projects: The parameter is available only in specific projects
   • If “Selected Projects” is chosen, use the multi-select dropdown to choose which projects
   • You can search for projects by name

3. Click “Create Parameter” to create the parameter.

4. As a result, the new parameter is created and appears in the parameters table. It can now be referenced in test cases, requirements, and shared steps.

#Parameter Naming Conventions

When naming parameters, consider:

• Use UPPERCASE: Common convention for constants (e.g., BASE_URL, API_KEY)
• Use Underscores: Separate words with underscores (e.g., TEST_USER_EMAIL)
• Be Descriptive: Use names that clearly indicate the parameter’s purpose
• Avoid Spaces: Use underscores or camelCase instead
• Be Consistent: Follow a consistent naming pattern across your workspace
