Parameter Properties

4.2. Parameters

Type

Type defines the data type of the parameter, i.e., the format in which the value will be stored and displayed. The selected type determines which values are allowed, how they are processed, and how they appear in the system. In the Qsee platform, the main types include:

  • Text – used for entering and storing textual information such as words, phrases, codes, or any symbolic data that is not numeric or date-based.

  • Classifier – allows selection of a value from a predefined list generated from a classifier.

  • Data Model – linked to a specific data structure (data model) and allows selecting values from a predefined set based on the associated model.

Selection

Selection specifies the selection type and defines whether one or multiple values can be chosen from the list. This property is applicable only to Classifier and Data Model types:

This property applies only to parameters of the Classifier and Data Model types.

  • Select – only one value can be selected.

  • Multiselect – multiple values can be selected simultaneously.

Select From

Select From determines the source from which parameter values are retrieved. The source may be manually defined, based on a classifier, a data model, or another linked object.

Group

Group defines the logical group or category to which the parameter belongs. Grouping is used to structure parameters and simplify navigation and display in the user interface.

GUID

GUID is a unique identifier automatically assigned to the parameter by the Qsee platform. It is used for unambiguous identification within the internal database.

It is used to uniquely identify the parameter within the Qsee database.

Note: The parameter GUID shown in the Parameters view is a system value and does not match the GUID from a shared parameters file. This property will be hidden from the user interface in future updates.
