Is there a way to apply a default filter to dialog boxes? We've had a few cases where people were selecting an OPERATING location accidently when assigning a location to a work order.

Hi Jason!

We have "solved" this problem by finding the lookup / dialog and then creating a copy of it...if it's a lookup, we'd take a duplicate and name it something like LOCATION_WO and then save that into LOOKUPS.XML with a DEFAULTVALUE control and / or a WHERECLAUSE at the table level, and then update the application XML (in your case, WOTRACK) to reference that new LOCATION_WO lookup.

If it's a dialog box, we typically find the XML in LIBRARY.XML and then duplicate it into the application XML (WOTRACK) and make updates there, as well...
