I have a field Std. Weekly Hours (calculation field) that I want to have a default amount of 35 hours/week. However, not everyone works 100%. I have another field Percentage Responsibility (number field) where the user fills in the percentage amount. What I want is: 1. How do I set the Std. Weekly hours field to display 35 by default and 2. then create a calc (form calc) on the Std Weekly hours that says n x 35 x % responsibility?
Why not have the calculate set uo in the hours field to calculate the n X 35 x %responsibility. Then have the %responsibility set by default to 100%.
You can override calculated fields, but it can be messy. I have examples, but I think the setting the default of the %responsible to 100% would be better.
Thank you for your reply. That is how I have the calculation now. But how do I set a default amount on a field?? in this case it would be the % responsibility.
If you select the %responsibility field and go to the Object > Value palette. There is a Default Value area where you can specify 100 or 1, depending on how your field is set up.
