Use Default Table Data

Some pages containing table windows also include a Default Table Data section at the bottom of the page.  If you are entering a series of similar entries you can speed the data entry process by entering values in the Default Table Data fields.  Values you enter as default table data are used as field defaults when you insert new rows into the table.  For example, if you are creating a purchase requisition for materials for a work order, you could enter default values for the work order number, the equipment, location, and storeroom.

Default table data for some table windows might contain system-supplied values. For example, in the Receiving application, the Received By field might default to your user name, and Received Date might default to the system date.  When you create a new row in the table window, the default values are copied to the appropriate fields, but remain editable, allowing you to modify them.

Note: The system does not save entries in the default table section when you close an application.
