About default profiles
To handle transactions that come in for accounts without profiles, you may optionally choose to have the system use default profile values. The system can run using default profile records, and trigger systems can be defined to filter them.
About the default profile field
When Use Default Profile is selected for a profile feed file data source, the system automatically adds a field called IsDefaultProfile (logical name IS_DEFAULT_PROFILE) to the profile data source. If the field is not in use, clearing the checkbox removes the field.
The field is a system-generated boolean (true or false) field and cannot be modified by users. When the field is included, values for it in the profile feeds are ignored by the Feeder. However, this field is available in the component editors so that it can be used for building trigger logic.
About using the IS_DEFAULT_PROFILE field when building triggers
Users building trigger systems can test for the IS_DEFAULT_PROFILE field’s value to filter out default profile records. For example, they could build components that check the value of the field and only fire when it is false. The ability to test for this value is useful when building forward-looking inactivity trigger systems.
About default profile values
The default profile files contain system-defined dummy values:
*
String field: "" (empty string)
*
Number: 0
*
Money field: 0.0
*
Boolean field: 0 (false)
*
Date field: 1899-12-30 12:00:00 AM
