| Keyword | Definition | Syntax |
| CAPTION | A more descriptive text that appears on the windows to change the parameter value. | CAPTION "<text>" |
| DEFAULT | This keyword defines the default value for the parameter. It is required and must be defined by the policy developer. | DEFAULT <default> |
| VALUE | This keyword should not be used during parameter definition. It will be created automatically at the time a user changes a parameter value; it is necessary for the editor to know the changed value. If the changed value is available, the generated code will always contain this value and not the DEFAULT value. | VALUE <value> |
| MIN, MAX | these keywords are only valid for parameters of type INT or DOUBLE. If a user changes a numeric parameter for that a MIN or MAX value or both is defined, the editor does a checking whether the new value is within the defined range. | MIN <value> MAX <value> |
| SESSION | This keyword defines that the parameter value should also be saved in a session variable. For details, see the topic SESSION Parameters. | SESSION "<session name>" |
The complete syntax for a parameter is shown below:
#PARAMETER <name>STRING|INT|DOUBLE DEFAULT <value> [VALUEThe parameter definition must always start with #PARAMETER <name>. The other keywords can be in any order.
