Inserting a parameter in a system package field

You can insert properties, including parameterized properties, in many fields in system package definitions.

You can generalize a system package using a parameterized property. For example, you can define a system package that uses a parameter to represent the path to a network driver. Later, when this system package is being used to provision a device, a user can insert the value for the network driver path that is applicable to the device being provisioned.

For an example of how to use a parameterized property reference in a system package field, see Streamlining-the-wizard-with-parameterized-properties-an-example.

To insert a parameterized reference to a property in a system package field

1. In the field where you want to insert the reference to the property, do either of the following:
   • Click Select Property to display a drop-down menu of available properties. Then click the property you want to insert.
   • You can also type the name of the property directly into the system package field. Be sure to delimit the property with two question marks, such as ??NIC_DRIVER_PATH??.
