# Adding Dynamic Parameters, Data Injections and Dynamic Variables

Automated Tasks can contain parameters whose values are populated when the coordinator enters the information for a new Workflow.

## **Dynamic Parameters**

To add a dynamically populated parameter:

- In the parameter field, enter the appropriate string to tell the system it should get the information from Extended Data. The string has the following format:

@[*extended data name*]

where *extended data name* is a Field Label in the Definition’s User-Defined Extended Data.

> [!NOTE]
> ***Note****:*
> 
> *To include a dynamically populated parameter, the field name must exist as Extended Data in the Definition.*

## **Data Injections**

- Data injections always use the following format of @[string].
- Entering a string of text means that the variable is dynamic, and the variable will be different each time it is used.

> [!NOTE]
> ***Note:***
> 
> *Extended data or global ext data can be used within the brackets.*

## **Dynamic Variables**

- Dynamic Variables use a link that comes from other IDI platform web apps.

The string entered reuses a parameter that is injected into the variable.
