A default value displays in a field when a module is opened in New or Search mode. A default value is the most commonly used value in a field and is intended to save time and effort during data entry. It can be overwritten at any time during data entry.
Default values can be specified in one of two ways:
- Administrators can create default values and make them available to all members of a group.
Note: Separate Registry entries are used to define default values for New (Insert) and Search (Query) mode.
- Users or groups with the
daDefaultspermission can select Edit (Default Settings) on the Edit tab of a module's Ribbon to create their own set of default values for that module.Note: See Default values and how to make use of them for details about setting default values using the Edit option on a module's Ribbon.
