A Default Button on a form is useful to pre-fill quickly a selected number of objects with default values.

This is useful if you have a large and complex form.

You can setup as many Default Buttons as needed on a form.

 

There are 2 steps to defining a Default Button:

1. Creating the Default Button
   • On the Custom Form Configuration window, select Add a Field from the context menu
     
     
   • On the Custom Form Object window, select Form Field, then Field Type = Default Button and enter a Field Name
     
     
   • Click Save
   • Click on the newly created default button on the main form panel to show the Display Properties
   • Enter a Label Text, select the Label Font and update the Location.
     
     
     
2. Assigning form objects to the Default Button
   • Right click on the form object to be associated with the Default Button and select Edit from the context menu
     
     
   • Select a Default Button from the list and enter a Default Value.
     NB: The Default Value should be one of the Allowable Options define for this object.
     

 

The Default Button shows on the custom form.

Clicking on the Default Button will pre-fill the associated form object with the specified Default Value.
