To map a parameter to a form value:

Select the parameter on the left, then select the name of the control which will supply the value (such as a TextBox); the specific property which will supply the value is auto-selected based on the default for the type of control, however a different property (such as Tag) can be selected if desired.
2. Once both the parameter and the control’s property are selected, click the “=” button to associate them.

For already associated parameters the “x” button can be used to clear the association

Once the required parameters have been associated, click Next.
