Create Parameters

CalcTree parameters are the key building blocks for any calculations you wish to build into your pages. Parameters will display the title and value automatically. If there is a unit, it will be displayed also.
﻿
﻿
Hover over the parameter to see more information. This information includes its title, value, formula, and which page the parameter is from.
﻿
﻿
How-ToAdd a new parameter to your page, use the "/parameter" command. Once you have added the parameter to the page, the parameter title will be highlighted so you can immediately give your parameter an appropriate title.

Give more context with:Units
There are two ways to add units to parameters: static units and dynamic units
 
Static units
Staric units are assigned to the parameter after the evaluation of any formula is done. In other words, no calculation will be done on a static unit. You can add a static unit to your parameter to give more context to the parameter:

In the "Unit" input you can either search for the unit you're looking for or use the menu to navigate through all available units.

Dynamic units
Dynamic units are units that are considered while a formula is evaluated. In other words, these units are one of the terms in the parameter's formula. Use of dynamic units enhances the robustness of your calculations and reduces the risk of errors. Learn more about dynamic units on the Units of measurement guide.

Number Formatting
Use the "Select Format" menu to select the format that your parameter will follow. The available options include General, Number, Percentage, Scientific, and Currency.
﻿
﻿
Decimal Places
You can set the desired number of decimal places for the parameter to follow.
﻿
﻿
Description
You can optionally add a description to your parameter to let other users know any key information about the parameter without cluttering your page.
