Default Values

Default values pre-fill parameters so Preview can run quickly with sensible starting choices.

Goal

Assign default values for single- or multi-select parameters.

Steps

1. Open the parameter in Parameter Manager.
2. Open the Default settings.
3. For a single parameter, enter one default value.
4. For a multiple parameter, enter the list of default values.
5. Save the parameter.

Result

When Preview opens, the prompt shows the defaults. Users can change them before running.

Tips

Note

Lookup-dependent parameters that require a parent value may clear defaults until the parent is set.
