Types of task parameters

Global parameters
Nodes in Corezoid processes contain a set of global parameters (see also).
To view the list of these global parameters, with a Process open in the Editor, open the Edit tab and click on a Node. In the Node menu, you need to go to the Parameters section and click on the notepad symbol to the right of the Value field. On clicking the symbol the window opens in which you need to open the Global tab (Picture 1):

Local parameters can be added to each node and task independently. To view the list of local parameters in the Editor, open the Edit tab and click on a process node. In the Node menu, go to the Parameters section and click on the notepad symbol to the right of the Value field. In the window that opens, open the Task tab (Picture 2):
