To provide a default keyword value for a Data Set Keyword Type, add the <Filter> element to the root <FOSCONFIGURATION> element in the Epic FOS XML configuration file.
<Filter>
<Keyword name="[Keyword Type Name]" value="[Default Value]" default="true"/>
</Filter>
The default attribute must be set to true for the specified value to be applied as the default.
Default values can be provided only for Keyword Types in the Data Set. Make sure the specified Keyword Type is configured in either the <Keywords> or <DataSet> element.
For example, if you want to use 12345 as the default value for the Scan Station Keyword Type, you would add the following:
<Filter>
<Keyword name="Scan Station" value="12345" default="true"/>
</Filter>
In this example, if a Data Set provides no value for the Scan Station Keyword Type, then Front Office Scanning will apply 12345 as the value. If the Data Set does provide a Scan Station value, then the Data Set's value is used.
The <Filter> element also can be used to filter available Document Type scan buttons based on whether the specified keyword value is present in the Data Set. For more information, see the Front Office Scanning module reference guide.
