Description Thom Carlin 2015-01-06 20:33:04 UTC

Title: Configuring Smart Parameters

Describe the issue:

Smart Variables, Smart Parameters and other variables/parameters definitions and use could be clearer.

Suggestions for improvement:

Review Section 9.2 for consistent use of terminology.  

Additional information:

Some of the definitions in Chapter 9 may be better in Appendix A (Glossary)

Assigning to David for review.

David - it looks like this section is now 13.2.2 of the User Guide.

Comment 7 Andrew Dahms 2016-03-14 05:09:00 UTC

Re-assigning to the default assignee to be re-triaged as the schedule allows.

Hello Thom


Some work was done to improve the Parameters section in Bug 1175075


Could you review the Parameters section[1] and let us know if we can close this bug as a duplicate of Bug 1175075 or if further changes are required?


Thank you

Comment 10 Thom Carlin 2016-11-01 14:17:19 UTC

Seems fine to me. I would have Sat6-QE also review it before closing...

Hello Thom


I think QE team is not best for terminology, I have been through the terms with SMEs.


The Parameters section has just been updated again as result of BZ#1328132.


Thank you
