- Default
- Prompts that have an answer followed by double slashes (//) are called defaults; this means a response has been pre-selected, based on the most likely response or the previous response to this prompt. For example, the prompt “Time Limit:” may have a default of 1 year for Lab Orders, and would appear as: Time Limit: 1Y//. Defaults save you time by allowing you to just hit return rather than typing an answer.
