1. When a relation is added, the new parameters are added to the knowledge base;
2. Use the right mouse menu option "New Parameter/Function..." in the Knowledge Browser (or the main menu);

...

1. Implicitly, using the pre-defined syntax (see also QuaestorSyntax):
1. $ at the end of the name means string type: the parameter is used for text values;
2. # at the end of the name means TeLiTab type: this is the Quaestor data the Quaestor data structure for a combination of Text, List values and Table values.
3. % at the end of the name means integer type: See [1].
4. Normal parameter name is assumed to be of the value type: this can be any real number.
2. By defining this in the "New Parameter/Function..." window;

In other words, when you add parameters by means of a relation, you can also define the type of the parameter.

Note that due to some choices in design, a string parameter in Quaestor cannot in Quaestor cannot be changed to a value type (so removing the $ will not help...). In that case you have to create a new parameter with the correct type.

• Workbase, to provide input during a dialog and navigate through all solutions;
• Explanation, to present all reference information (and all other binary data connected to parameter, objects and relations that can be visualized in a web browser);
• Knowledge Browser, to add, modify and navigate through all knowledge;
• Frame Viewer, to view and change details on parameters, relations and constraints;
• Slots & Properties, to view and change properties of parameters, relations and constraints;

In addition to these windows you have windows that are activated by Quaestor when you carry out a specific action, such as the Knowledgebase Clipboard, but for instance also the Web browser to provide additional help for intrinsic Quaestor functions. The additional windows are:

• Trace Viewer, specialized window to debug modeling and evaluation of solutions;
• Web Browser, to view web pages, pdf documents, text, etc. in a separate window;
• Graph, simple viewer for multi-case values;
• Knowledgebase Clipboard, to export knowledge from the Knowledge Browser to a separate file, etc.;
• Workbase Clipboard, to export results from the Workbase to a separate file, etc.;
• Expression Editor, to edit expressions (relations, functions, constraints);
• Compose Text, to compose text based on text fragments in the Knowledge Browser or Workbase;

Finally you have special modal windows, for instance required to control Quaestor in combination with other programs. The special modal windows [3] are:

• Report, to view reports generated by Quaestor;
• Process Manager, to select datasets and tasks and start a analysis, design and engineering process;
• Back to Quaestor window, enabling and forcing you to return to Quaestor in the correct way;
