# Configure object parameters

Object parameters control how object data works in your environment.

This can affect visibility, validation, and how objects are used in other flows.

### What parameters often affect

Parameters can influence:

* visible object fields
* required data
* app behavior
* links with work orders or forms

### Open the settings area

Go to **Settings** in the BackOffice.

{% step %}

### Find the object parameters

Open the parameter section that covers objects or asset management.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Review the current setup

Check which fields, rules, and display settings are active.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Update the settings

Then save the changes.
{% endstep %}

### Test the outcome

Open an object and a work order to confirm the new behavior.

### Good setup advice

* change one setting at a time
* test with a real object record
* document important setup decisions internally

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge.out-smart.com/marketplace-packages-and-power-ups/power-ups/object-management/configure-object-parameters.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
