Editing Default Parameter Values

Parameters are what make the Web Part unique. Parameters must be specified in order to schedule automatic content refresh. Changing the default values for a template's parameters won't affect any Web Parts that you have already created. It's not retroactive. However, any new Web Parts that use the template will have the new default values.

To edit the parameter values for a Web Part:

  1. Log on to the Web Part Administrator. How?

  2. In the Web Part Administration dialog box, click the Configure Available WebParts tab.

  3. Click the Report Parameters tab to view a list of the parameters used in this Web Part.

  4. Click Edit Parameters to change the default values for the parameters.

  5. Make changes to the values.

  6. On the Finish dialog box, click Finish to save your changes.
