Name-Description
Name Sets a unique name for the parameter.
Label Sets a unique integer for the parameter.The dialog box automatically displays the next available label number. However, you might want to change this if you use a particular series of numbers to identify certain types of parameters.
Description Sets a description for the parameter.This description appears in the Durability Simulation Objects dialog box only if you add the Description column to the list table. To do that, right-click the column heading row and choose ColumnsConfigure. In the Configure Columns dialog box, select the Description check box and then click OK.
Categorization
Category Sets the category name for this parameter.
Sub-Category Sets the subcategory name for this parameter.The subcategory appears in the Durability Simulation Objects dialog box only if you add the Sub-Category column to the list table.
