The Parameters Menus
This is a common menu used throughout the options system. It has minor
differences, depending on your subscription and on what you are doing when you invoke
it. For example, if you are working in a quote window, the parameters menu is
different than if you are working in a chart window. The difference is the
content of the Scope field.
In context of quoting options, the Scope field enables you to apply parameters
at the two upper levels of Aspen Systems: at the system, or global level, and
at the quote window level. By default, the Scope field displays the level at

The ability to change the Scope field enables you to change and apply
perspectives and forecast options performance quickly. However, you should exercise
caution as you are getting started, at least until you get used to the
flexibility. While the ability to apply parameters across levels enables you to see the
perspective you want quickly, you can lose track of what you are doing if you are
not careful. The following sections explain Global and Quote parameters in
more detail.
