Setting Initial Values for filter/select fields

When using filter/select, you can now add initial value on the data grid configuration instead of setting a value on the data service. An initial value on the data grid configuration is loaded when the app opens, but if you change or remove the value, the initial value is not displayed again. Use this when you need to have a start value, but have an option to leave the field blank.

A value set on the data service re-appears automatically if the user tries to leave a field blank.

  1. Open data grid configuration.
  2. Go the Filter/Select tab.
  3. Select the field to configure.
  4. Type the Initial value. You can use these as initial values: a fixed value, user context, or date macros which are for date fields only.
  5. Save the configuration.
