Parameters Wizard

(You can also open this wizard when selecting some parameters item in the Outline pane and pressing Enter.)

By clicking the plus button on the right side, a pair of words "name" and "value" appear in the wizard. After each clicking the Plus button, a new line with name and value labels appears and you must set up both names and values. You can do it when highlight any of them by clicking and change it to whatever you want and need. When you select all names and set up all values you want, you can click the Finish button (for internal parameters) or the Next button and type the name of the parameter file. The extension .prm will be added to the file automatically.

You also need to select the location for the parameter file in the project folder. Then you can click the Finish button. After that, the file will be saved.
