[8] Global Parameters
Global Parameters are applied by default to open workbooks. It is commonly used for storing parameterized data source connection details, so that they are maintained outside of the workbook.
Users with an Administrator or Designer role can add, modify, or delete global parameters that will pull and enter specific data into the different sets that are assigned to workbook folders, as well as user specific folders for Designers.
For example:
| Parameters Set In | Description |
|
Organization’s root folder (i.e., Global) |

User’s root folder (i.e., Global > ~) |
Inherited by the user root folder’s subfolders and applied to all private workbooks. |
