Defining Parameters

Parameters are the measured variables that can be determined in a test profile – e.g. silicon, fluoride, or pH value. ConCertainty has two types of parameters: system-maintained periodic table elements and user-defined parameters.

Periodic Table Elements

ConCertainty contains all 118 elements of the periodic table as predefined parameters. They are directly available for selection and do not need to be created. Periodic table elements cannot be edited or deactivated.

In the left-hand menu, under Master Data, open the Parameters area and select the Periodic Table Elements tab to view the complete list.

Creating User-Defined Parameters

For measured variables that are not periodic table elements, create user-defined parameters.

In the left-hand menu, under Master Data, open the Parameters area and select Create Parameter.

Fill in the fields:

• Name – the designation of the parameter, e.g. "pH value", "fluoride", or "sulfate"
• Identifier – automatically generated from the name and can be adjusted before saving

Warning

Once saved, the identifier cannot be changed. For more information, see Identifiers.

Select Create to save the parameter.

Editing User-Defined Parameters

User-defined parameters can be activated or deactivated using the status toggle in the overview. Inactive parameters are no longer available for selection when creating new test profiles.

Info

The maintenance function for user-defined parameters will be expanded in a future version.
