Setting Default Values

StarShip allows you to define a fixed (or default) value to be used for fields that are not mapped to Eclipse or for which the application is not actually sending in a value.

For example, we may want to default the “Department” field to “Shipping.” This example shows you how to do that, and you can then use this process to set values for other fields for which you want to define values.

1. Click on Shipment and then the General Information folder in the left-hand pane.

2. Click on the Department field in the center pane and then, to the right, change the Field Mapping Source from None to Fixed Value. Type “Shipping“ in the Fixed Value field as shown below
   
   
   
   Note that Department now has an asterisk next to it in the center pane meaning that its mapping has been changed from the default map. The Shipment and General Information folders display an X to note that one or more fields in those folders have been changed.
