# Parameters

Clicking a parameter causes the Properties view for that parameter to appear in the Properties tab.

The Context Menu of a parameter allows you to delete, copy, or rename the parameter in the data model. Right-clicking on the Data node provides an option to add a new parameter.

Tip: Clicking a parameter in the tree mode of the Outline view is the only way to access the Properties view for the parameter.

For more details, see Configuration of Parameters.

The Parameters summary table provides an overview of the parameters. To see each parameter in the current project, select the Data node in the Outline view.
