-Parameters are global for a project, which means that they are available for all tables. The value of a parameter is the same for all tables. Changing a parameter value automatically (if Auto-run is on) causes recalculation of all actions that use the parameter.+Also, parameters are used for arranging iterations (loops) and calling subroutines (e.g. other modules/projects).

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]].
