WorkExpo On-Line Help
Setting Defaults

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 choosing Yes will overwrite any existing information.

 

 Note: If you choose "Overwrite YES" then any existing values for all students will be overwritten with the new defaults. If you choose "Overwrite NO" then only student records with  empty values for the default fields will be populated.
