# Information storage Configure the details for parameter variables that contain information storage values. ## Topics ### Creating an intent parameter [`convenience init(title: LocalizedStringResource, description: LocalizedStringResource?, defaultValue: Double?, defaultUnit: IntentParameter.InformationStorage?, defaultUnitAdjustForLocale: Bool, supportsNegativeNumbers: Bool, requestValueDialog: IntentDialog?, inputConnectionBehavior: InputConnectionBehavior)`](/documentation/AppIntents/IntentParameter/init(title:description:defaultValue:defaultUnit:defaultUnitAdjustForLocale:supportsNegativeNumbers:requestValueDialog:inputConnectionBehavior:)-7i4yk) Creates an app intent parameter with a default unit for the measurement. [`convenience init(title: LocalizedStringResource, description: LocalizedStringResource?, defaultValue: Double?, defaultUnit: IntentParameter.InformationStorage?, defaultUnitAdjustForLocale: Bool, supportsNegativeNumbers: Bool, requestValueDialog: IntentDialog?, inputConnectionBehavior: InputConnectionBehavior, resolvers: () -> Spec)`](/documentation/AppIntents/IntentParameter/init(title:description:defaultValue:defaultUnit:defaultUnitAdjustForLocale:supportsNegativeNumbers:requestValueDialog:inputConnectionBehavior:resolvers:)-53sza) Creates an app intent parameter with a default unit for the measurement. [`convenience init(title: LocalizedStringResource, description: LocalizedStringResource?, defaultValue: Double?, unit: IntentParameter.InformationStorage, unitAdjustForLocale: Bool, supportsNegativeNumbers: Bool, requestValueDialog: IntentDialog?, inputConnectionBehavior: InputConnectionBehavior)`](/documentation/AppIntents/IntentParameter/init(title:description:defaultValue:unit:unitAdjustForLocale:supportsNegativeNumbers:requestValueDialog:inputConnectionBehavior:)-38ide) Creates an app intent parameter that specifies the unit for the measurement. [`convenience init(title: LocalizedStringResource, description: LocalizedStringResource?, defaultValue: Double?, unit: IntentParameter.InformationStorage, unitAdjustForLocale: Bool, supportsNegativeNumbers: Bool, requestValueDialog: IntentDialog?, inputConnectionBehavior: InputConnectionBehavior, resolvers: () -> Spec)`](/documentation/AppIntents/IntentParameter/init(title:description:defaultValue:unit:unitAdjustForLocale:supportsNegativeNumbers:requestValueDialog:inputConnectionBehavior:resolvers:)-2jxve) Creates an app intent parameter that specifies the unit for the measurement.
