Remarks

A parameter definition is the meta information that fully describes an assessment parameter. This information is used by AXE solutions (UX or scripts) to add, validate and otherwise manipulate parameter values.

Note that parameter definitions are separate from parameter values. Definitions are static and defined by an assessment author when an assessment is authored. Values are defined by a user (or script) using an AXE solution. Solutions can be any program that uses the AXE API s to create and run jobs. This includes UX based tools and PowerShell scripts.

The order of ParameterDefinition elements in the ParameterDefinitions elements is significant. AXE assessment authoring tools should maintain the order. The order determines how a assessment s command line is formatted (if there is one). Parameters should be put on the assessment command line in the same order as in ParameterDefinitions. This means each parameter has an implicit zero based index based on its position in the ParameterDefinitions collection.

Each of the ParameterDefinition nodes in the ParameterDefinitions collection must each have a unique programmatic name.
