Configuring default values for required fields

A Maximo® Real Estate and Facilities administrator can configure default values for required fields with a List (LI) or Text (TX) field type. By doing so, a Maximo Real Estate and Facilities CAD Integrator/Publisher user can choose to specify default values in the Smart Attach and Batch Process features.

About this task

Important: This configuration is supported by the List (LI) and Text (TX) field types only. Configuring default values for any other field types will record errors in the ci.log file.

Procedure

To configure the default values for required List (LI) or Text (TX) field types, navigate to the ci.properties file. For example:
```
C:\Program Files\IBM\TRIRIGA\CI-AC\config\ci.properties
```
Open the ci.properties file and scroll to the DEFAULTS property at the bottom.
To set the DEFAULTS property, the values for the required fields should be specified as follows:
```
DEFAULTS=[<Required Field Name 1>=<Required Field Value 1>],
   [<Required Field Name 2>=<Required Field Value 2>]
```
1. For example, to specify one required field, such as Current Use Space Class:
```
DEFAULTS=[Current Use Space Class=Assembly]
```
2. To specify more than one required field, keep the brackets around each name-value pair and separate the pairs with a comma:
```
DEFAULTS=[Current Use Space Class=Assembly],
   [Description=My text description.]
```
3. Otherwise, leave this property blank.
  
  Note: The default value of this property is blank.
When you're ready, save the ci.properties file.
To confirm, launch Maximo Real Estate and Facilities CAD Integrator/Publisher.
1. Open the CAD drawing to attach, and select IBM TRIRIGA > Attach > Smart Attach.
2. The required fields are prepopulated with the specified values.
