FatCow parameters can be used to parameterise information used in tests. Parameters can be defined on the {fatcow} and the {fatcowsuite} macros, for example

    {fatcow:reportdetail=all|baseurl=http://localhost:8088}

    ||Fixture||Test Something||
    |goto_url|$baseurl$|
    
Parameters are accessible in the tests by using a dollar sign notation shown in the above goto_url command. The useful thing about parameters is they can be overloaded. A parameter defined on a {fatcowsuite} macro will override properties of the same name defined on any tests running in the suite. This enables the user to define test suites for different target urls, usernames, passwords, etc.
