In order to output an attribute that must always have a value, if attribute exists on an item, the user has the facility to add a default value.

  1. To define the default value that is to be output for an unset attribute, append the default value to the attribute definition, prefixed by #, that is Attribute > New Description#Default Value, examples are shown below.

    Built>Build Status#Unknown

    PIPE>HREF>Connected To#NotSet

  2. The order of the attributes in the configuration file has no significance on the exported data.

  3. To export all of the attributes for every item, enter them all into the relevant INCLUDE files.

  4. To export NO attributes at all, rename or delete (making a backup copy first) the configuration file in all of the Default directories that are being used by the PDMS installation.
