Manage Environment Parameters
You can define parameters that are applicable across the entire project or workspace environment.
An environment parameter is a variable of String type defined by an administrator that any user of the environment can reference in their flows and flow-related objects.
注意
You must be a project owner or workspace administrator to manage environment parameters.
Create Environment Parameter
Steps:
A project owner or workspace administrator can select User menu > Admin console > Environment parameters.
In the Environment Parameters page, click Create.
Specify the parameter:
Name: Enter the display name for the parameter.
注意
All environment parameter names are automatically prepended with
env..Default value: Enter the default value.
注意
The default value is stored as a String value.
To create another environment parameter, click Add another.
To save your changes, click Save.

Limitations
You cannot use environment parameters in plans.
Environment parameter names must be unique within the project or workspace. You can apply override values to them at runtime.
Edit Environment Parameter Value
Administrators can change the default value for an environment parameter.
注意
Modifying the default value of an environment parameter immediately applies the change across the entire environment. All subsequent job and plan runs are affected.
注意
After you have created an environment parameter, you cannot change the name. You must create a new environment parameter.
Steps:
In the Environment Parameters page, locate the parameter whose default value you wish to modify.
In the More menu, select Edit value.
Enter a new value, and click Save.
Delete Environment Parameter
Steps:
In the Environment Parameters page, locate the parameter whose default value you wish to modify.
In the More menu, select Delete.
Export Environment Parameters
You can export the environment parameters from your project or workspace.
注意
All environment parameters are exported at the same time into a ZIP file. Do not modify this file outside of Alteryx Analytics Cloud.
Steps:
In the Environment Parameters page, select More menu > Export.
The ZIP file is downloaded to your local desktop.
Import Environment Parameters
If you have exported a set of environment parameters, you can import them into another workspace or project.
注意
If an environment parameter that you are importing has a name that conflicts with an environment parameter that already exists, you must either rename the imported parameter or delete it from the import set.
Steps:
In the Environment Parameters page, select More menu > Import.
Select or drag and drop the ZIP file. Click Import.
注意
Select the ZIP file or its embedded JSON5 file for import.
The Import environment parameters dialog is displayed:
