As a Space administrator, you can define which Parameter value lists are available to your Space. <span style="color: #172b4d">These lists can be used to define the available values for list parameters and also to define </span><span style="color: #172b4d">[datasets](https://getxraydocs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/XRAYCLOUD/pages/44566351/Parameterized+Tests#datasets anchor)</span><span style="color: #172b4d"> columns.</span>

Space parameter value lists can be either imported to a Space from the globally available Parameter value lists (defined in Xray section of Jira settings detailed in [Global Settings: Parameter value lists](https://getxraydocs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/XRAYCLOUD/pages/44576218)) or created directly in the Space.

However, Parameter value lists are managed within the scope of a Space. Those are the ones that will be seen by your Space.

By default, no Parameter value list will be automatically added to your Space, they always have to be added explicitly.
