Cascading parameter group allows to arrange your parameters into groups, which provides a cascade of filtered choices.

For example, if you are prompting for a city value, but you also need to know which country and region that city comes from, you could create a cascading parameter group. In this case, you first prompt for a country, and when that value has been selected, the program prompts for a region by showing only the regions that apply to the selected country. Finally, when a region value has been selected, the program prompts for a city by showing only the cities that apply to the selected region. In this way, you can provide your user with a manageable list of cities and be sure that your user picks the correct city.
