 Parameters can be of several types: Parameters can be of several types:
-  * **Text or number** +  * **Text or number** - the entered text treated as a number if it looks like a number, or as a text value otherwise 
-  * **File name** - this parameter type is just like a text parameter but for convenience the input box has buttons for opening file browser and triggering absolute/relative paths +  * **File path** - this parameter type can be used for provide a file location. It has buttons for opening the file browser and triggering absolute/relative paths
-  * **Date** - it's a number parameter that supposed to indicate a date that can be chosen using a date picker (calendar)+  * **Folder name** - this parameter type can be used for provide a folder location. It has a button for opening the folder browser. 
 +  * **Date** - it's a number parameter that is supposed to indicate a date that can be chosen using a date picker (calendar)
   * **Calculated parameter** can be calculated using [[syntax:start|expressions]]. Such expressions can refer to another parameters (calculated or not) but not to field names as parameters are global exist on the project level. Calculated parameters are evaluated automatically before running a project or calculating a transformation.   * **Calculated parameter** can be calculated using [[syntax:start|expressions]].

-=== Full project runs === +=== Project overview === 
-All non-calculated parameters are prompted on full project runs -- i.ewhen running project with all transformations not calculated (e.gright after opening project) or when performing Reload and Run.+Besides the Parameter editor, all parameters can be viewed and edited in the Project overview sidebar.

 +=== EasyMorph Launcher === 
 +[[https://easymorph.com/scheduler.html|EasyMorph Launcher]] allows creating and running tasks with the same project but with different parameter valuesIt can automatically prompt parameter values on every run.

 +=== EasyMorph Server === 
 +[[https://easymorph.com/server.html|EasyMorph Server]] also allows running projects with different set of parameter values, or prompt parameter values on every run.
  
 === Command line execution === === Command line execution ===
-Parameter values can be defined from command line. Defining parameters is optional. If a parameter isn'defined then its default value is used. Calculated parameters can't be defined from command line. Also new parameters can't be created from command line. See [[command_line|command line syntax]] for more details.+Parameter values can be provided from the command line, if needed. If a parameter value isn'provided then its default value is used.
