You can manage the parameters used by Eagle analytics calculations. You can view/edit, create, duplicate, and delete calculation parameters. You can also view several other types of parameters, such as date, float, holiday list, integer, and statistics parameters in the Parameters workspace.

View / Edit a Calculation Parameter
