2.  Select a scripted REST API record.

3.  In the **Resources** related list, select **New**

4.  In the **API query parameter**, select or enter the query parameter to associate with the resource.

5.  In the **API resource**, select or enter the scripted REST API resource to associate with the query parameter.
