Configured Value XPATH	This field is used to give the XPath of the configured values. The behavior of this field depends on the type of view. When the view type is form, the corresponding value present in the XPath is taken as the field value. In case XPath returns multiple values, first value returned is considered. In case the XPath returns multiple values, the first value returned is considered. When the view type is grid, the following behavior is followed. If more than one parameters defined then following rules should be met. For independent index parameters, a join would be performed between the values returned by the XPath and the existing set of rows. For dependent index parameters, join would be performed between the values returned by the XPath and the correspondent row. For non index parameters, if list of values returned then they are aggregated into comma separated values.
Order	The order of the parameter. The relative order in which the parameter has to be displayed.
