Assessment parameters

Below you will find the assessment parameters for each day of culture that you can get in Linnéfiler today. If you need additional parameters, please send us a request.

If no version has been added to the column "Available from" the parameter is available for choice in an existing released version. If a version has been added the parameter was documented prior to release and will be available from the specified release and forward.
