Defaults

InstallAnywhere 2024 R2

The effect of Defaults on Get User Input panels also differ by input method.

•

If the Input Method is Textfields, the values listed in Defaults will be set as the defaults for the textfields. The first default item will be used for the first textfield, the second item for the second textfield, etc.

•

If the Input Method is any other option (check boxes, radio buttons, a pop-up menu, or a list), you may choose the default to be either Selected or Not Selected, and Set Variable. Choosing Set Variable opens a dialog box requesting the name of an InstallAnywhere variable. If the variable resolves to true at the time of installation, the component will be selected.

If there are more defaults listed than there are entries in Values for choices, these extra defaults will be stored in additional variables derived from the Results Variable base name. For example, if there are three items in Values for choices and there are four defaults, the fourth default would be stored in a variable with a _4 derivation. Extra default values do not affect the String returned in the base Results Variable.
