~~Title: Setting Default Values ~~

Default values for fields can be set [[jvx:server:storage:dbdefault_values|programmatically]] or directly in VisionX. If you're using VisionX, it's pretty simple.

Assume we have the following screen:

{{:visionx:defaultvalues_screen.png?nolink|}}

If we insert a new record (1), the Birthday (2) should be set to the current date and the Checkbox (3) should be checked. To define this, open the screen in design mode:

{{:visionx:defaultvalues_design_table.png?nolink|}}

and open the customizer (1) for the selected table. The customizer contains the event **After Inserting Row** (2). Simply create a new action for this event. The action editor contains the necessary commands:

{{:visionx:defaultvalues_action.png?nolink|}}. 

The Set Value (1) command sets the Checkbox to selected (value = **Y**). The Set Value (2) command sets the birthday to the current date (**[new java.util.Date()]**). If you create a new record, the Checkbox and Date will be set:
