Setting default field values

You can set a default value for an individual field in the MASTERFORM wizard. A default field value will automatically appear in the field even when you begin a brand new template.

For example, if you want to prevent typos in the Emergency Telephone Number field, you can enter the number once and save it as a default value. Then everyone who uses the program will know exactly what number should appear in that field and they will not need to remember it and type it themselves.

To set a default field value:

1.Type the information you want to save in the correct field.

2.With your cursor still in the field, right-click and choose Set Default from the pop-up menu.

To remove a default field value:

1.Enter a shipping paper and move to the field with the default value.

2.With your cursor in the field, right-click and choose Clear Default from the pop-up menu.

See Figure 28 on page 79 (Saving Multiple Field Values).

Saving multiple field values

MASTERFORM allows you to save or “remember”a value for an individual field. For example, if you have a standard list of names you want to appear in the Signature field, you can save them as remembered values. Then everyone who uses the program can select those signatures from the signature field drop-down list rather than retyping them each time.

To remember a value:

1.Type the information you want to save in the correct field.

2.With your cursor still in the field, right-click and choose Remember from the pop-up menu.

Type a new value and repeat these steps to continue adding values to the remember list for this field.
