Once you have created and linked external (shared) parameter file, in case you want to put it into the graph, you need to convert it into internal parameters. In such a case you would see them in the graph itself. Remember that one parameter file with more parameters will create more internal parameters.

You can internalize any linked external (shared) parameter file into internal parameters by right-clicking some of the external (shared) parameters items in the Outline pane and clicking Internalize parameters from the context menu.

You can even internalize multiple linked external (shared) parameter files at once. To do this, select the desired linked external (shared) parameter items in the Outline pane. You can select adjacent items when you press Shift and press the Down Cursor or the Up Cursor key. If you want to select non-adjacent items, use Ctrl+Click at each of the desired items instead.

After that, the linked external (shared) parameters items disappear from the Outline pane Parameters group, but, at the same location, the newly created internal parameter items appear.

However, the original external (shared) parameter files still remain to exist in the project what can be seen in the Navigator pane (parameter files have the .prm extensions).
