Specifying a default value

Specify a default value for a variable which is appropriate for its data type.

About this task

The value you supply as a default must match the data type of the variable. You can enter a default value or you can select a default value from a file. Typically you select a default value from a file for variables that are based on schemas. For variables based on an XML Schema, you load an XML file that is valid to the XML Schema.

Specify a default value using one of the following methods:

To enter a default value manually:
  1. Click the Default Value field of the "Properties of" pane.
  2. Enter a value.
To select a default value from a file:
  1. Click [..] in the Default Value field. The Default Value dialog box is displayed.
  2. Click Upload. The Open Sample Document dialog box opens.
  3. Select a sample file and click Open. The contents of the file show in the Default Value dialog box.
  4. Click OK. The OK button is located at the end of the pane.
