Update multiple parameters

You can use the Bulk Parameter Update action to update the values of multiple parameters simultaneously from a lookup table.

  1. If necessary, add parameters to the app or macro.

  2. Create or upload a database with a table at least two columns:
    • A column to hold the names of the parameters
    • A column to hold the values you want to associate with the parameters
    Parameters in the lookup table must begin with the @ sign. For example, @parameterName. They don't need to be enclosed in curly brackets.
  3. Create a macro that includes the Bulk Parameter Update action.

  4. Edit the action. In the Bulk Parameters Update Properties dialog box, on the Configure tab, specify the following:
    • For Connection, choose the connection to the lookup table database.
    • For Parameter Name, specify the table and column with the parameters to update.
    • For Parameter Value, specify the table and column with the parameter values
    • If you want to specify a condition that must be met for the macro to update the parameters, for Conditions, specify the table and column with the condition values.

  5. Associate the macro with an event.

    When the app is started and the macro runs, the parameters are updated using the values from the lookup table.
