Add a Scenario Level Default Value Rule to a Category

A Designer can add a default value rule that indicates a default value for a column and whether the value in the column is mandatory. Before performing this task, a category and scenario must be added. Refer to dspConduct™ Design Process Overview for more information on creating elements in dspConduct™.

After a scenario level default value rule has been added to a category, it can be assigned to a scenario in that category. Refer to Assign a Default Value Rule to a Scenario for more information.
