5IO Param Entity

This tool allows the user to change a variable within a system (string, number, list, etc). When used it will create an item within a slide that will allow the user to change information. The user will be able to scroll through lists or numbers (the tool will automatically toggle from numbers up and down), or through other options and changes depending on how the tool is set.

Using the IO Param Entity Tool 

The user must "drag and drop" this tool directly into the slide.

Once the tool is in the slide the user may change the size of the ROI box to fit into the screen as desired.

The user then should right click on the ROI box to open the tool's options.
