**Name**: A string containing the human-readable name of this point. This name will appear everywhere the [[data points|data point]] is [[published|published]].

**Default**: A default value that the input should have.

**Source**: //Optional - Defaults to **None**// The path to an internal or external source of data for this input. This parameter is discussed in the [[connect_our_model_to_data|example of connecting a model to live data]].
