View - Parameters Tab
Use the Parameters tab to configure parameters of the view. This is an optional step when you create a view. Use parameters to pass data from one view to another, or from a view to a subview. You can update view parameters using rules, and you can use them like a variable to store values and use them again. View parameters can be Boolean, DateTime, Number, or Text. You can use the default value of a parameter or set the value of a parameter using rules. Parameter values can also be used in the expression builder.
