Figure dsyh017 not displayed. Parameter name

This field specifies the names of the source columns that are being used to filter the data. For example, doctors, visiting nurses, and other hospital personnel might require access to the PATIENTS table on an enterprise server. To ensure that a group of visiting nurses sees only the data that pertains to their job code, the filter might specify the JOBTYPE column in the PATIENTS table as the parameter name and "VNURSE" as the filter value.

This value cannot be changed in the Create User notebook or the Edit User notebook because it reflects the data filter set for the group.
