A global parameter that is defined as a reporting parameter can be used to drive other parameters directly or through a formula.
Assign a Global Parameter
You can assign global parameters to element properties, such as family parameters, as well as to instance and type project parameters.
Label a Dimension with a Global Parameter
From the Label option for a dimension, you can create a global parameter or select an existing global parameter to control the dimension value or to use its value to drive other parameters.
Filter a Schedule by Global Parameter Association
Use a schedule filter to find all elements that have a specific global parameter association or are missing an association.
