===== Attribute initial value =====

For an [[glossary:attribute|attribute]] of a [[glossary:attribute_type|basic types]] a [[glossary:configurator]] may specify an initial value. This value will be assigned to the attribute when the [[glossary:business_object]] (or [[glossary:notification]]) to which it belongs is created in the [[glossary:operation_mode]]. For example, the configurator may specify that all orders be created with the status 'New'.
