### Overview

- If a destination database contains fields that do not exist in the source database, and you want Rapidi to insert a value when a new record is created, you can make use of "Default Values".
- Default Values are only filled in when adding a new record to the Destination, not when an existing record is updated.
- If you need to fill a field in the destination with a fixed value both at update and insert, you can use a formula in the Field List - like ##'fixed value'

### Field:

Here you specify the field in the destination table Rapidi should apply the default value to.  
  

### Value:
