To configure a default value for an attribute:

  1. In the Properties pane, select the Attributes tab.
  2. Select the attribute and click Modify.
  3. Select the General tab.
  4. Enter the Default Value for the attribute in the field. Option to build dynamic default values are available from the drop-down list. The maximum number of characters a default value can be is 100.
    Note:

    When using a boolean attribute, a default value of 0 is false and a default value of 1 is true. If a value of 1 is not specified, the default boolean attribute value is automatically set to false (0) when an object is created.

    Note:

    Ensure that the value entered in the Default Value field matches the data type for the attribute. If a value is entered that does not meet the requirements of the data type, the view will not load in the client.

    Note:

    When configuring a default value for a currency keyword with Track Changes selected and using a data set, the value you enter as the default value will be displayed in the data set drop-down list in the client, including the currency symbol.

    Note:

    The ~ and % characters are reserved for use with macros. Using them in a string that does not include a macro may produce unexpected results.

The drop-down list provides options for configuring the default values. The options available depend on the data type the attribute is configured as. These options include:

Button

Description

Separator

Adds a space, a hyphen, and another space to separate the different symbols (-).

%U - Logged in user name

Uses the user currently logged in as the default value. If you use%U[objectName] as the default value for a relationship attribute, the default value will use the configured class Auto Name to match with the user name.

%R - Logged-in User's Real Name

Uses the user's real name of the user currently logged in as the default value.

%S[seq] - Next Sequence Value

Allows you to use an existing sequence for the default value. Select the appropriate sequence from the drop-down menu that displays.
Note:

You can also create a new sequence by selecting %S[seq] - Next Sequence Value | Insert new sequence. For more information see Creating Sequences.
