How To Set Default Values for Standard Action User Text Fields

You can link a User Text field of a Standard Action with Asset data, to provide a default value every time an Action is created from the Standard Action

      Click on Knowledge Base in the Navigation Window

      Expand the Editors group

      Expand Attribute Sets

      Expand Action

      Click the Attribute Set to have a Default Value field

      In this example we are labelling UserText1 as “Asset Address”:

      Click Save then close the the Attribute Set Editor

      Select the Asset Type Explorer then navigate to the Asset Type of the Standard Action which uses the Attribute Set that we just modified

      Expand the Standard Actions group

      Select the Standard Action, which is to have the Default Value field

      Enter the definition for the Default Value, to be obtained from an Asset e.g. A concatenation of; some Asset Address fields, commas and spaces:

      Click Save

      Open an Asset that is to have an Action based on the Standard Action that we have just modified:

      Click New > Action > Footpath Remedial Work:

      Here’s the Default Value that we see in an Action created from the above, example Standard Action:

      Click Save

Things to be aware of:

The names of the Asset Table Columns are available in the Conquest Data Dictionary Report, which is available from Conquest Help in PDF form. It’s a lot of pages, so just search for what you want in the PDF, rather than printing it. See Data Dictionary for details.

Changes that you make to the value that was created in the UserText Field are permanent.
