-You can see an overview of all the parameters you have set with the overview mode.
+There are two modes of the Parameter Overview screen. 
+
+The ``Modify Resource Parameters'' mode lets you see all existing parameter settings, and lets you modify these
+existing parameters. It also provides a nice overview of everything that is currently set.
+
+The ``Set/Modify Resource Parameters'' mode lets you determine first which parameters you want to have listed on which level (\ref{Cascading_Parameters}). These parameters
+may or may not be previously set.
