| default attribute |
Attribute or key field of an object, which is entered in the basic data of the object type on the tab page Defaults.
The value of the default attribute is displayed when an object is to be described in greater detail. This applies, for example, if a list of objects is displayed. The default attribute of an object can also be used as a sort key in the Business Workplace.
Often the default attribute is a key field of the object. If no default attribute is defined for object type, the key fields of the object are displayed.
