Defining Settings for Default Values

Use

You can define how the default settings in characteristics maintenance are interpreted on the value assignment screen:

  • The standard setting interprets default values as user entries. The characteristic is interpreted as having an assigned value.

  • Default values are display only, and must be explicitly set by the user. If the default value is not confirmed, the characteristic is interpreted as not having an assigned value.

Procedure

You can define these settings in the configuration profile and on the characteristic value assignment screen.

  1. In the configuration profile, choose Settings, and on the characteristic value assignment screen choose Start of the navigation path View Next navigation step Settings. End of the navigation path

  2. You see a dialog box.

  3. Choose the Default values tab.

  • To have default values interpreted as user entries, select Enter and Copy.

  • To have default values confirmed by the user, select Confirm.

  1. If you do not use the default values, you can save user-specific settings.

Note Note

If you do not define user-specific settings, or if you delete the user-specific settings, the settings in the configuration profile apply.

End of the note.

For Settings on the Characteristic Value Assignment Screen Only:

  1. If the user-specific settings are different to the configuration profile settings and the current settings, you can display the settings next to each other by choosing Comparison.

The current settings only apply to the transaction you are currently processing.
