Setting Initial Values for specific search fields

When using specific search, you can 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 want the user to have a start value, but possibility to leave the field blank. A value set on the data service re-appears automatically if the user leaves a field blank.

  1. Open data grid configuration.
  2. Go to the Specific Search 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.
