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