Assigning a default value to an application field

You can assign a default value for a field that is specific to an application. The default value does not apply to fields in other applications that are associated with the same attribute.

Procedure

  1. Select the section control that contains the field and click Control Properties.
  2. Drag the Default Value control to the section from the Control Palette. If you do not see the Default Value control when the workspace refreshes, click Toggle Show All Controls in the Select Action menu.
  3. Select the Default Value control and click Control Properties.
  4. Specify an attribute in the Attribute field and specify its default value in the Value field. When you associate a text box in the section with the same attribute, the default value is set to this value.
  5. Optional: To use the value you selected for each new record, specify Insert as the Default Type.
  6. Optional: To inherit the default value from another data source and attribute, complete the From Data Source ID and From Attribute fields.
