Assigning a default label to an attribute

You can specify a default value for an attribute and all text box controls that bind to the attribute inherit this value. The value is saved in the database

Before you begin

This procedure includes updating the database. Backup the database and make any necessary arrangements before you restart the database and the application server.

Procedure

  1. Select the attribute in the Database Configuration application or click New Row to specify a new attribute.
  2. Specify the value you want to use as the default label for the attribute in the Title field.
  3. Click Save.
  4. Run the configdb command to save the changes to the database. Sign out of the system and stop the application server.
  5. In the Application Designer, drag a text box control from the Control Palette into a section control in the workspace.
  6. Select the text box control and click Control Properties.
  7. Specify the attribute that you configured. The window refreshes and the Default Label field contains the value that you configured.
