The Canning Overview display looks like this when the operator selects the Peas state:

Create parameter lists

You create parameter lists by selecting the tags as you set up the objects that will open the
displays that use them. The first tag in the list will replace placeholder #1, the second tag
in the list will replace #2, and so on. A parameter list stays with the object when it is
copied or duplicated, and with the graphic display in which it is created, when the display
is copied or moved.

Parameter lists can be used anywhere that parameter files can be used. The parameter list
option appears in:

The States tab of the Display Selector object

The General tab of the Logout button and Goto display button objects

The Initial graphic option on the Startup editor

The Runtime tab of the Project Settings editor

The Display tab of the Global Connections editor

Parameter lists are defined in the object on the display. If the display or the object is
copied or imported to another application, the parameter list stays with the object.
