# Default Values

## Default Values Configuration in Delpha

The **Default Values** screen allows you to predefine field values for **Accounts**, **Contacts**, and **Leads**. This ensures smooth record creation and compliance with Salesforce validation rules by automatically filling in required fields.

### **Key Configuration Sections**

* **Account Default Values**
  * **Action**: Use *Add New Field* to define defaults (e.g., `Industry`, `Account Type`, `Region`)
  * **Purpose**: Prevent errors during Account creation due to missing required fields
* **Contact Default Values**
  * **Action**: Add defaults for fields like `Email`, `Phone`, or `Job Title`
  * **Purpose**: Ensure Contact records are created with all mandatory info
* **Lead Default Values**
  * **Action**: Set fields such as `Lead Source`, `Status`, or `Company Name`
  * **Purpose**: Avoid issues during Lead creation where validation rules apply

{% hint style="warning" %}
These settings are critical for the Job History use case as you can be proposed to create a new account or a new contact.
