7.2 About Defaults and Overrides

You use defaults and overrides to simplify the version creation process. You set up default values in fields that have a recurring entry. You set up override values to override the default values that you originally set up. For example, you might be working with a report in which you are displaying decimals for all report figures and then determine to remove the decimals for one example. You set up the display decimals as a default value and override the display decimals for the one instance that you do not want them displayed.
