Regardless of whether you are defining template fields, sub-objects, or related objects, you must specify a field value that is automatically populated when the user creates a new record. As shown in the following table, these field values may be:

•Literal: static

•Attribute: dynamic

•Formula: static-dynamic

Field Value Types

Literal

Attribute

Formula

Values that users manually enter or select, also known as "static" values.

For example, the value for the Default Category in a claim record is manually set to Category 1, which is set to Auto.

Values that are based on a value entered or selected in another field and defined using Object Navigator, also known as "dynamic" values.

For example, the value for the sub-object Assignee 2 is set to the user who created the record.

Values that are derived from a combination of static and dynamic values, also known as "static-dynamic" values.

For example, the value for the Due On date of the related object Task 1 is set to be 7 days (static value) after the date when the record is created (dynamic value).
