Access parameter settings by right clicking on the parameter on the page, and clicking 'settings.
This will open up the parameter settings pane on the right hand side of the screen, looking something like this:
This is where you can control the parameters display name, name, formula, view, format and rounding, visibility and see it's dependancies.
The display name is how the parameter is visually presented on the page. You can enter it using either LaTeX syntax or plain text—typing a space at the beginning will force plain text.
This display name also appears in dependent formulas, allowing equations to be shown using functional math notation.
This is the internal name of the parameter used for referencing it in formulas, linking between sources, and via API. It is automatically generated from the display name but must:
Exclude special characters
Be unique within the page
For example, a display name of x_{name} will generate a parameter name of x_name.
Choose how the parameter is visualized on the page. Options include:
Single value (default)
List
Table
Radio buttons
Traffic lights
The available views depend on the parameter’s data type. Learn more on the View Options page.
Adjust the parameter’s display format, including the number of significant figures shown. Some formatting options may be disabled depending on the parameter’s data type.
Control how the parameter appears on the page. For example, you can hide the name and formula when embedding the result in text, or show the full equation and result when illustrating a calculation. By default, all visibility options are enabled when a parameter is first created.
Displays a list of all other parameters that this parameter depends on for evaluation. This helps clarify calculation flow and detect potential circular references.
CalcTree uses to render LaTeX math notation.
Define the parameter’s value using the formula field, which supports MathJS syntax for mathematical expressions and functions (). Formulas can also be defined inline in the document or directly within the parameter.
