Which option reflects the recommended practice for parameters that should not be seen by end users?

• A. Remove them from the Query Template > Parameters section.
• B. Leave them in both sections.
• C. Remove them from the Results Viewer.
• D. Remove them from User Interface > Parameters section.

Answer: (D)

The key idea is to hide inputs from end users while keeping them usable behind the scenes. Removing the parameter from the User Interface > Parameters section does exactly that: it prevents the prompts or fields from appearing in the UI that users interact with, so they won’t see or enter those values. At the same time, the parameter can still be utilized internally by the system (for example in the Query Template) without exposing it to users, preserving the underlying functionality. If you remove it from the Query Template > Parameters section, you risk breaking the template’s ability to substitute values in queries. Removing from the Results Viewer doesn’t affect input visibility. Leaving it in the UI would expose the parameter to end users, which is not desirable for sensitive or internal values.
