# Adding, editing and deleting instances to the parameter template

Add, edit, and delete multiple instances to parameter templates for multi-record parameters in VHQ to apply configuration variations across devices.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Use this when** you need to manage multiple instances (such as repeating records) within a multi-record parameter template.
{% endhint %}

VHQ supports adding, editing, and deleting multiple instances within a parameter template. On the *Edit parameter template* screen, you can create instances for the multi-record parameter definition, either while creating the template or afterward.

## Add an instance

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Click the plus icon

On the *Edit Parameter Template for Application* screen, click the plus icon to create an instance.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Enter values

On the *Add Instance for Merchant* screen, click the pencil icon to enter parameter values, or restore defaults.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Add

Click **Add**. The new instance is added — you can add multiple instances to a container, but can't change the template name.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.verifone.com/support-us/verifone-hq/vhq-parameter-management/configuring-parameter-templates/parameter-template-pt-support-for-multi-record-parameters/adding-editing-and-deleting-instances-to-the-parameter-template.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
