Preset parameters can be set for some embedded commands. When commands are embedded, the window panes of the commands are embedded in the Tasks pane when a task step runs.

When commands are embedded during step configuration, preset parameters are available in the Task Designer pane under Command/Geoprocessing. To view and populate preset parameters, set the command for the step and click the Edit button 
on the command action bar.
Preset parameters are only available in the Task Designer pane and are not available when the step runs. For example, when embedding the Create command 
, the Filter and Group By preset parameters are available. These parameters can be preset to control how the feature list is displayed in the embedded Create Features window when the step runs.
The sections below describe examples of commands that have preset parameters when they are embedded in the Task Designer pane.
