# Adding Dynamic Parameters, Injections, & 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 web apps.
- The string entered reuses a parameter that is injected into the variable.
