# Parameter Tags

**Parameter Tags** are references through to **Parameters** that have been set up within the Global Setup, Parameters module.

You can use **Parameter Tags** anywhere that **Tags** are accepted.

**Parameter Tags** use the special opening tag <\* and closing tag \*>, with an asterisk ( \* ) at the beginning and end of the tag. Between the tags you need to provide the name of the **Parameter** and its group, in the format <\*ParameterGroup.ParameterName\*>.

For example, if you have created a **Parameter** named **STATELAKE_SUPPORT**, within a **Parameter Group** named **Email_Addresses**, then you can reference this with the tag <\*Email_Addresses.STATELAKE_SUPPORT\*>.

The **Parameter** value will be converted to a string value when the **Tag** is translated.

Floats and Datetime types will convert using the standard format.
