default record

An object record that contains data that is used every time a new instance of the object is created. All objects, such as formulas, items, instructions, etc. can have default records with a code of @DFLT (@DFLT\@DFLT for formulas). Set up default records with data that should be used every time a new instance of an object is created. When a user creates and names a new object, the new object is pre-filled with information from the default record, therefore minimizing user input. Default records for objects also contain default security information. You can create lab specific default records for formulas, named @DFLTlabname.
