Setting default value for a field

Tags:  

If you feel that values for a field should definitely be filled with some value even if the user does not specify anything, you can specify a default value for the field.

To set default value for a field, while adding a field:

  1. Drag and drop the required field to the form.
  2. Click on Options.
  3. Specify the initial value for the field in the "Initial value" text box. The value specified must be compatible with the field data type. For example, the initial value specified for an Email field type, must be an email id.
  4. Click Done to update the changes.

To set default value for an existing field:

  1. Select the Form from the Forms Tab in Edit mode.
  2. Place mouse over the field to be edited.
  3. Select the Edit this Field option. The edit dialog will be displayed with the current field configurations.
  4. Specify the initial value for the field in the "Initial Value" text box. The value specified must be compatible with the field data type. For example, the initial value specified for an Email field type, must be an email id.
  5. Click Done to update the changes.
