Setting or Removing a Default Value

Setting or Removing a Default Value

Some code tables allow setting up a default value to be used when inserting a new record into Theatre Manager. For example, if the salutation code table had a default value of "Mr. and Mrs." This feature reduces the amount of time it takes to input information into Theatre Manager. Values that do not change each time a new record is inserted can be predefined.

Setting a Default

  1. Select the value from the appropriate code table.

    Single click the value to highlight it.

  2. Click the Set Default button.

    A bullet should now appear beside the value, signifing the default code table value.

Removing a Default

  1. Select the default value from the appropriate code table

    Single clicking the value to highlight it. This will be the value that is marked by the bullet.

  2. Click the Remove Default Button

    The default should now be removed. If the bullet has disappeared the process was successful. There is no longer a default value.
