Default properties

This topic applies to ArcGIS for Desktop Standard and ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced only.

Default properties allow administrators to seed the jobs with consistent properties by job type, and each job thereafter will have default values for certain attributes. For example, you can seed the job description so that it is consistent throughout all the jobs of this type. Another example could be setting the job duration, as it's possible that all jobs of a certain type will take two weeks to complete. In this case, upon creation, the job's due date would be set to two weeks after the current date.

The following properties can have default values:

How to configure default properties
