To include a default value in a search, the parameter must appear on which form?

• A. User Interface > Parameters form
• B. Criteria tab settings
• C. Report Settings
• D. Security Settings

Answer: (A)

Defining a default value for a search parameter happens where you declare the parameter itself. The Parameter form under User Interface is the place to set up inputs that users can provide for a search and to specify their defaults. When a parameter exists there, the system knows to apply its default if the user leaves that input blank. The other areas—Criteria tab settings, Report Settings, and Security Settings—handle filtering rules, how results are shown, and who can access the data, respectively. They do not define default values for search parameters, which is why the default must be placed in the User Interface > Parameters form.
