You can apply default values to each new student or employer record in order to save data entry.

Setting Defaults:

You can set defaults for background detail information in both student and employer windows. This saves having to update individual records if there is likely to be little difference in the values stored for many of your students or employers.
For example, a girls' school will want to set female as a default gender.

• Set defaults by clicking the Set Defaults link in the Detail tab in either the Students or Employers window.
• Choose options from the drop down lists. Remember that you can add your own options by double-clicking the selected drop down box.

If you wish to apply defaults that you have set you have three choices:

1. Apply defaults for the current student or employer.
2. Apply defaults for all students or all employers.
3. Apply defaults only to new records.

Make your selection in the Defaults dialog.

You can set defaults in WorkExpo so that when new records are added certain fields you nominate are automatically populated with default values. i.e. the gender field is automatically populated as "female".

To set defaults for student records in WorkExpo:

1. From the WorkExpo main menu press the large Students button.
2. In the Students window click the "Background Details" tab.
3. Click the "Set Defaults..." blue link at the bottom of the tab.
4. In the "Set Defaults" dialog box, select the defaults you'd like to set and press OK.
5. Now, when new students records are added these defaults will be added to the new records.

 

To update existing student records with defaults:

1. From the WorkExpo main menu press the large Students button.
2. In the Students window click the "Background Details" tab
3. Click the "Set Defaults..." blue link at the bottom of the tab.
4. In the "Set Defaults" dialog box, select the defaults you'd like to set.
5. In the "Apply Defaults for.." section choose "All Students".
6. In the "Overwrite?" section choose Yes or NO as necessary.
