Configuring default values for fields of Record Type (Desktop App)

Administration

Overview

TopTeam allows to set default values for Record Type Fields. When a new artifact is created, the system automatically sets the fields with the default values configured.

Default values for Record Type Fields can be set at system-wide level and project level.

System-wide Level: When you configure default values for fields at system-wide level, it will be applicable to all projects in the repository.
Project Level: When you configure default values for fields at project level, it will be applicable only to the specific project.
