Steps for Adding or Changing the Default Parameter

A default parameter can be entered in the Parameters screen. This default value is then automatically entered in the parameter field when a new record is created.

If a parameter value is set to be Required, a default value must be entered in the Default field. This value can also be changed in this screen.

Note:  

Changing the default only affects new records being created. Existing records will continue to contain the value that is already configured.

  1. To add or change the default parameter, complete the following steps:

  2. From Configuration > System, open the Parameter screen.

  3. Search for the parameter to be updated using the Parameter Search fields.

  4. Select the record by clicking on the folder to the left of the options displayed from the Search.

  5. In the Default Value field, enter the value that is to be the default for all new records. If there is already a value in the field, this value can be either deleted first, or highlight the entry and type over it.

  6. Save the record.

    Note:  

    To update a certain parameter value to be mandatory, set the Required option to Yes. When a user opens the screen where this parameter is attached, the user must enter a value before the record can be saved.
