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

You can view and edit several calculation attributes, including the calculation name, description, and the FINCAD function used. You can override input arguments used with calculations. Eagle recommends that you do not apply changes directly to the original calculation files. Use copied calculations to preserve the integrity of the initial Eagle Analytics migration package.

To view and edit a calculation parameter:

  1. In the Setup workspace, in the left navigation pane, click Parameters. 
    You see the Parameters workspace with the list of all available parameters.

  2. Scroll down to the calculation parameter you wish to view or edit.

  3. On the toolbar, click Edit.
    You see the Editing Calculation Parameter dialog box.

  4. Review and edit the information you wish to change and click Save.

Create a Calculation Parameter

    You see the Creating New Calculation Parameter dialog box.

  3. In the ID text box, enter a unique identifier. If you leave this option blank, the system assigns a unique identifier.

  4. In the Name text box, enter a name for the calculation parameter.

  5. In the Description text box, optionally enter a description of the parameter.

  6. Click the Calculation drop down and select the calculation that uses this parameter.

  3. On the toolbar, click Duplicate.
    You see the Duplicate dialog box.

  4. In the ID text box, enter a unique identifier. If you leave this option blank, the system assigns a unique identifier.
