How to change the default options in SalesPRO

Summary:  

This article describes how to change the default options for products in SalesPRO.   There are a couple of ways to do this:  At the product level and at a system level

Instructions

System Level:

  • From within SalesPRO, go to the Maintenance tab
  • Select the drop down menu under Manage Lists
  • Select Option Defaults


  • On the Option Defaults window, select New
  • In the Option Name field, type the option name.  Please note that the option name must match exactly.  (For Example:  Valance Type would be a separate option from Valance)

  • Option names are also case sensitive.  For example, if you are wanting to set the default for Option 'Valance Type', typing 'valance type' will not apply.
  • In the Option Value field, type the desired option value.  Again, the option value must match exactly.
