XXXXXXXX REVISE FOR 6.2 HAS THIS TAB BEEN CONSOLIDATED WITH Parameterss tab

Adv Parameters reference a flow action, or gadget, within a section.

Parameterized sections provide flexibility and promote reuse. For example, a single section may include a button which has one of three labels — Increase, Decrease, and Clear — depending on the value of a section parameter. (Since that button always calls a single activity, some mechanism within that activity must operate at runtime to determine the context and desired result.)

Using parameterized section rules can promote reuse and reduce the number of distinct section rules you need in your application. Be careful to ensure that each parameter has a value in each enclosing rule (section, harness, or flow action) that includes the section.
