Parameters are set and managed in Query using the `:param` command.
14+
Parameters can be created and managed either via the parameters sidebar or by invoking the `:param` command in a Cypher editor.

17+
There are a few exceptions such as the https://neo4j.com/docs/cypher-manual/current/values-and-types/spatial/#spatial-values-point-type[Point] type and the setting of https://neo4j.com/docs/cypher-manual/current/values-and-types/property-structural-constructed/#constructed-types[constructed types].

To support the setting of these types via the UI, there is also a special option of `evaluated` in the type dropdown.

This allows you to express any parameter type as you would using the right-hand part of the command syntax inlinecode:++:param pointParam => Point({x:1, y:1})++[], in this example `Point({x:1, y:1})` as the value to be evaluated.

The following arguments are supported:
