Q

can be used across all of our tools to limit which data a user sees in their results. Here are some examples of when these values come into play:

Some SlicerDicer data models require a user to have an authorized service area. Without one, the data model is completely inaccessible.

SlicerDicer data models can filter results automatically using the service area(s) listed.

Many Workbench templates use required “dynamic” parameters that filter by these values whenever the report is run. This means two users running the same HRX would see different results based on the values stored here.

Dashboard Summary Level Parameter selection is limited to the values stored here for all users viewing a dashboard.
