# Set up Values and Parameters for a Range Control

1. Drag the Range Control block onto the workspace and connect it to a Query Data block.

2. In the Range Control block's properties, specify the **Pane** in which to place the range slider.
3. Optionally, use the **Prompt** field to provide some text to display with the Range Control.
4. Specify the **Minimum** and **Maximum** values for the range using either the fields in the **Input Bindings** or the manual settings. Settings in the **Input Bindings** will take precedence over manual entry.
5. If you wish to set an initial value for the lower and upper range, click the arrow next to **Initial Values (Optional)** and enter the desired **Initial lower range value** and the **Initial upper range value**.
6. Select from the drop-down list if you want this to be an **entered value**, or a **percent of max.** Click the **Apply** button.
7. Then select the Query Data block and click on **Input Bindings**.
8. In the Query section, replace the relevant portion of the SQL statement with the parameters to which the Range Control block will be passing values using **@{ }** as shown in the example (**@{lowerCPU}** and **@{upperCPU}**) below.
9. Click the **Apply** button to apply the parameters. The parameters will display in the Input Bindings section for the Query Data block.

10. Use the drop-down menu under the parameters displayed in the Input Bindings (**lowerCPU** and **upperCPU** in the example above) to select the range values.

> [!NOTE]
> **NOTE**: The .values[0] = the lower range value, and .values[1] = the upper range value where = the name of the Range block.
11. When you are done, click the **Apply** button.
