Project Parameters (tppdm0100s000)Use this session to maintain and initialize the parameters that define how LN works. By default, the Description field contains the date and time when the previous parameter set was saved. In order to avoid confusion, if you change the parameters, change or delete the Description text as well. Note The parameters you set in this session are valid for all projects you set up in this company. Parameters also serve as defaults for some fields.
