How does a property parameter differ from simple and networked parameters?

• A. It uses external data sources
• B. It compares a value to the results of a formula rather than to a Chronicles item
• C. It can only be used in static reports
• D. It requires no formula

Answer: (B)

Property parameters differ because they use the result of a formula as the thing you compare against, rather than referencing another Chronicles item. In simple or networked parameters, the value you’re checking tends to come from a fixed value or from another item in the Chronicles network. With a property parameter, the anchor for the comparison is a computed value—your formula generates a value on the fly, and you compare the given value to that computed result. This lets you express checks like “is this number greater than the calculated tax on this amount?” rather than requiring a direct item-to-item reference. So the essence is that the comparison target is a formula-derived value, not another Chronicles item. External data sources, static-only usage, or the absence of a formula aren’t defining features here, and they don’t capture why this parameter type stands out.
