What function do "Screen Parameters" serve in OutSystems?

Screen parameters in OutSystems play a crucial role in enabling data transfer between different screens within an application. When navigating from one screen to another, passing parameters allows the receiving screen to display specific data or respond to the user's actions appropriately. This is fundamental for creating interactive and dynamic applications where user input or contextual data needs to flow seamlessly from one point in the app to another.

Using screen parameters ensures that screens can be both modular and reusable. Each screen can accept certain inputs via these parameters, which can vary depending on the context in which the screen is being used. This flexibility enhances the overall user experience, as it enables personalized and context-aware content delivery as users navigate through the app.

The context provided by screen parameters is particularly valuable in multi-screen flows, where the outcome of one screen impacts the next. This capability is essential for maintaining state and enriching the user's journey, making screen parameters a foundational element of effective mobile application design in OutSystems.
