    Hi Abhraham,

     These parameters are useful in the use case where you want an interaction with user to select appropriate value of parameter, but it is limited with pre-defined options available to them.

     

    For example: I have a predefined parameter which take distribution list to send mail to, here I configured 3 options for end user to select form dev@test.com, qa@test.com or prod@test.com depending upon scenario he can select 1 of available options.

     

    I hope it helps.

     

    Let me know if you any question.

     

    Regards,

    Saurabh

    Saurabh,

     

    Yes that helps.  Is it only used for user selection actions within CA RA?

     

    I ask because I  am looking to send an email that requires the replacement of certain lined mumbers in the body of the email.

     

    For example

    Option1:  Line 35

    Data : "Text to replace  For Line 35"

     

    Option 2: Line 55

    Data: "Text to replace for line 55"

     

    However I just want to use this internally without having a user select the option.  Can it be used in this type of case?

    Hi Abraham ,

     

    You can select the parameter scope when creating this type of parameter .

    And you can select all four including Internal.
