Create proof default

Thank you for joining this quick How To Screencast, brought to you by Salesforce support. To see more content like this, hit subscribe. All right, let's talk about how you can default values when you create a brand new record. So if you always want the value to be default, and no matter where they click to create a new record or how the new record was created, you'd actually want to just set a default value right at the field level. So here, for example, I go into the Lead Object, and right where I create or edit that custom field, you can see that I can put in the name of the field, how long the field is, but at the very bottom there, there's a default value area. And so here, I can actually just put the default value I always want this field to have, and it can actually be a formula as well. So it doesn't just have to be one static value, you can put in some kind of formula and have it be dynamic based on some criteria that you want to put in here. But what would happen with this approach is that any time someone goes to create a new record, that field is going to have that default value. It doesn't matter what button they click, desktop, mobile, through an API call, that default value is set. Now, there's another way to do this as well, and that's through something called Actions. So with an Action, you can define that when someone clicks this particular button, we only want to see a particular set of fields and we want to default certain values. And you can have global actions or you can have actions on specific records. So on an account object, I can have a related button to create a case, for example. So here we go into Setup on the object where we want the action to be, and we create a new action. And in this case, I'm going to create a record. This will give you the options based on what records are related to the object we're talking about. So you'll have different options depending on your environment. But essentially, you create a new action, you decide what record it's going to create, and you give it a name. And then from here, you can actually decide the layout of the action. So what fields do you want to have show up, so when someone clicks that particular button, what fields should they be manually editing? And you can drag and drop, add, or remove fields. But the magic here is this Predefined Field Values. This is where you're going to set the different default values when someone clicks this button. And so those fields don't even need to be on the page, they could just be hidden off of the action but still have the right default field value. And again, these are formulas...
