  2. Click Next to accept the displayed Project, Package and Process.
  3. Enter ExistingCustomer as the Name, select String for the Type and click Finish.
  4. In the Project Explorer, select the Process and go to the Simulation tab on the Properties view. This shows the Parameter that you created (ExistingCustomer).
  5. Click Add Value. This adds a value called New Value. Double-click the value and rename it to Yes. Repeat this to create a No value. The result should look like this:
