Setting Up a Default Academic Term

To set up a default academic term, use the SF Term Default component (DFLT_TERM_TBL).

A default term value simplifies data entry. Typically, changing the default term value at the beginning of each term is most beneficial. Using effective dating functionality, you can predefine default term values in advance and have them automatically change on the first day of the term.
