URL Parameters
| URL Parameter | Description | 
| autorefreshpreview=[true/false] | Disables auto-refresh of graphic preview if set to false. | 
| candeletepilotelements=[true/false] | Lets you delete data elements from the database if set to true. | 
| maps=[hostname] | Overrides the setting shared_curious_server defined in the Pilot Data Server. | 
| preview=[hostname] | Overrides the setting preview_server_uri defined in the Pilot Data Server. | 
| showpilotelements=[true/false] | Hides the data element list if set to false. Overrides the setting ax_hide_data_elements defined in the Pilot Data Server. | 
| mosid=[mosid] | Defines which mos installation the object is to be used in (for example, mosid=PILOT). | 
| disablepilotelementoverwrite=true | Hides the overwrite button if true. | 
| override-initial-concept=<concept id> | Overrides the initial concept selection in the find graphics "tab" in Pilot Edge. It overrides the local storage setting and re-selects the specified concept each time Pilot Edge is loaded. The list of concepts and their id can be found in the service document for PDS , host:8177/concepts, and it is the numeric part of the id that it is used. Note: This feature is only applied when Pilot Edge is loaded the first time. If a newsroom system only hides Pilot Edge and shows the previously loaded version, this will not be applied. | 
| sendbutton | Force the Send to Newsroom system button to appear. | 
| origin=[URL] | When hosted in an iframe, Viz Pilot Edge uses window.PostMessage to communicate with the host window. The origin parameter is a safety measure to ensure that only the window with the given origin gets the message. If not present, Viz Pilot Edge will fall back to using *, which makes the browser skip this check. |
