Managing Parameter Sets
Parameter Sets are predefined Task Processor settings that you can use when creating a Production Plan in the Ticket Editor. You can access and manage your Parameter Sets from the System Overview by selecting a Task Processor, and then double-clicking the Parameter Sets icon in the Resources pane.
You can also create or edit Parameter Sets from the Settings pane in the Plan tab. For more information, see “Settings Pane (Ticket Editor)”.
To create, duplicate, edit, delete, import or export Parameter Sets
Administrator access level only!
1 From the System Overview, select the Task Processor whose Parameter Sets you want to work with.
The Resources associated with the Task Processor appear in the Resources pane.
2 Double-click the Parameter Sets icon in the Resources pane.

The Parameter Sets dialog box appears.
At the top of this dialog box, you will see one or more icons. These icons represent the operations of the selected Task Processor. For most Task Processors, there is a single operation. However, some Task Processors (such as Render or any Output Task Processor) have two or more operations. Each operation has its own individual Parameter Set(s).
Below this, you will see a list of available Parameter Sets for the selected Task Processor operation. Here, you will see at least an “initial” Parameter Set, as well as any additional Parameter Sets that may have been created.
You will also see a set of icons at the bottom of the dialog box.

You can use these icons to create, duplicate, edit, set as default, delete, import or export Parameter Sets for the selected Task Processor.
