Column	Description
Description	A name that describes the parameter.
Parameters	The name, or part of the name, that is used to define this parameter in the HTML. When AppScan finds a field with this parameter name it fills in the value supplied. To enter multiple parameter names in one row, use a comma without a space. Example: Description: Zip Code \| Parameters: zip,postal
Value	The user input that AppScan will send for this parameter.
Override	Sometimes the site fills in its own default value for a particular field. In such cases, by default AppScan will use the site's suggestion rather than the one entered here. Select this check box if you want AppScan to use the value defined here, even when the site offers a different default value.
Match Type	Defines how AppScan will search for the parameter defined here, and how it relates to field-filling options supplied by the site. Options are "Partial" or "Complete." Complete: The value will be input only for parameters that exactly match one of the text strings in the Parameters field. (For example, the parameter defined as `addr`, will not be used for a field named `address`.) Furthermore, if the field offers a drill-down list of options, this value will be used only if it exactly matches one of the options. Partial: This value will be input for parameters that match or partially match one of the parameter strings listed here. (For example, if the parameter is defined as `addr`, it will also be used for a fields named `address`, or `ADDR`.) Furthermore, if the field offers a drill-down list of options, and none of the options exactly match the value entered here, a close match will be used instead.
URL	If this field is left empty, this value will be used for this parameter regardless of URL. If a specific URL is given, this value will be used for only for parameters that occur in this URL. (You can therefore define a parameter one way for one URL and differently for another.) However, if there is no other row with the same parameters and an empty URL, the value of this row is default for all other URLs too.
