If a parameter is visible in Query Template > Parameters but is not added to User Interface > Parameters, what is true?

• A. It will appear in the user interface automatically.
• B. It will appear only if added to the UI.
• C. It Cannot appear in the end-user UI.
• D. It will appear in the Results Viewer.

Answer: (C)

A parameter that lives in the Query Template but isn’t added to the User Interface Parameters is not exposed to end users. Only parameters that have a UI control added to the end-user interface will be visible and adjustable there. If you don’t add it to the UI, there’s nothing for the user to interact with, so it cannot appear in the end-user UI. The query can still run using its assigned value (default or other source), but there won’t be a UI field for the user to modify it. The Results Viewer shows results, not UI controls, so it isn’t about whether the parameter appears there—it's about whether the UI presents a control for the user to interact with. If you want the user to be able to change it, you must add it to the UI parameters.
