2.6.3 Specify the Default Value

This topic provides the systematic instruction to specify the default value.

  1. Specify a Default Value for a User-Defined Field.
    The option list positioned next to this field will be enabled only if the field is a cube entity. Else the option list will be disabled.
For example, assume that your bank wants to capture an additional currency field for processing certain transactions and the default value for this additional field has to be USD. Therefore, your selections will be as follows:
  • Field Type - Cube Entity
  • Cube Entity Type - Currency

The option list in the 'Default Value' field displays all the currencies maintained at your bank. Select USD. Consequently, in the UDF screen of the Contract Input or Function Id screen, USD will be displayed as the default currency.

Note:

If you have specified a default value for a field and also the derivation rule, the value obtained from the derivation rule will take precedence over the default value at the Contract/ Function Id level.
