The parameter settings definition is used to define the parameters that can be configured in the software. Specify the list of parameters (key name, type, and default value), method, and script package for this definition.
In the parameter list, specify multiple parameters that can be configured in the software. Each parameter is represented by a key name, type, and default value. However, the default value can also be omitted.
For the parameter setup method, specify which method should be used to configure the parameter values in the software. Select either a batch file parameter settings script that can be used in Windows, or a shell script parameter settings script that can be used in Linux as the method.
A script package is a package file containing the parameter settings script compressed in ZIP format.
