Some or all of the following Work fields are contained on the Domain-Type Work field Additional Attributes overlays for alpha, format, logic, text, token and date Domain types:

· Default Value establishes a modifiable starting value for all referenced work fields whenever they are first displayed in add mode in an input image, unless modified by a user. If blank, there is no starting value displayed on the image.

· Occurrence determines the number of times a field is present in a record. If blank, APPX assumes a value of 1. This field may contain up to five numeric characters and is restricted to a maximum of 32,767. See the Occurrence section for a more comprehensive discussion of this field.

· Range Checks defines a series of allowable values that APPX uses for online data validation. The first component represents the relation. The options are EQ (equal to), NE (not equal to), GT (greater than), LT (less than), GE (greater than or equal to), and LE (less than or equal to). The second component represents the value that is assigned to the relation. If you enter two relations, APPX infers an AND relationship.

· Use Domain Doc? Click the checkbox to toggle between “yes” if you want APPX to use the documentation from the domain as Help text and “no” if you plan to enter Help text unique to this field.

· Share Class defines at what level the values contained in this work field can be shared. The Share Class options are:

· SUBPROCESS — The values can be shared between a process and its subprocesses.

· RELATED — The values can be shared among related processes in a job.

· DETACHED — The values are available until the user logs off.

· NOT SHARED — The values are available only for the current process.

The default is SUBPROCESS.
