Add parameter

To add a parameter to your score:

  1. Locate Score parameters section.
  2. Click on the Add button
  3. On the appearing dialog configure the parameter and it's options for your score field:
    1. Name (mandatory): The name of the parameter. This will appear on the edit screens of your score field. 
    2. Description (optional): The description of the parameter. This will appear on the edit screens of your score field as the tooltip of the name.
    3. Parameter multiplier (mandatory): Add a multiplier to assign greater or less weight to a parameter. The weight must be a number, and it's accept integers or numbers with one decimal. (eg. 1, 1.1, 5.4) The suggested default value is 1 or 1.0.
    4. Options (at least one is mandatory): There are two types of parameter you can choose from: Name-Value pair and Linear sequence. In both cases, the configured values will appear as options. The parameter value will be the selected option's Value multiplied by the Parameter multiplier.
      1. Name-Value: You can add any number of Name-Value pairs as the value of the parameter with the + button. The option Names will appear on the edit screens of your score field in a drop-down list where you can choose the one you prefer.  The option value must be a number, and it's accept integers or numbers with one decimal.
      2. Linear sequence: You can also specify a linearly increasing series of numbers. You need to define the range of values and a step value. The numbers in this range (incrementing by the step value) will be available as option values. The range values and the step value must be numbers, and it's accept integers or numbers with one decimal. (warning) Note, that due to performance reasons, you can have a maximum of 100 option only.
