To make this possible, the key parameter is stored in the Web Key Parameters Table(TWGRWPRM). Because the table is used only for background processing in the Self-Service products, a form is not associated with it. Whenever a key parameter (such asregistration term) is selected, it is stored in TWGRWPRM with the user's PIDM. Eachtime the user goes to a page that requires a key parameter, the table is checked. If a value isfound, it is used; otherwise, the user will be shown the parameter selection page to make achoice. If the user wants to change the value he or she had selected, the parameterselection page can be chosen from the appropriate web menu page. Selected parametervalues are used until the user changes his or her selection, or logs out.The TWGRWPRM table maintains itself by updating rows whenever possible, rather thaninserting new records for each value selected. All existing records for a PIDM are deletedwhen the user logs out, and again at the next login (in case the Web user forgot to log outcorrectly).For more information on the different parameters, refer to Chapter 6, “Web Tailor Tables.”Graphic elementsGraphic Elements lets you create a graphic element, or modify an existing one.
