7.11. Default calculations

Default calculations allow you to pre fill field values to streamline data input.   For example, consider the situation of a company monthly expense report.   You may wish to default the start date to the first of the current month and the end date to the last day of the month.   This is accomplished by setting up default calculations.

  1. On the Fields/Sections tab, select the Expense_Period_Start_Date field.
  2. Check the checkbox for Default Calculation attribute.   
  3. Click on its submenu arrow and select edit calculation.
  4. Select the function icon and choose StartOfMonth from the function menu.
  5. Select its parameter of CUR_DATE.
  6. Press the OK button to complete the set up.
  7. Configure the default calculation for the Expense_Period_End_Date in a similar manner using the EndOfMonth function.
