How do you create a default selection in a SmartList?

To create a default selection in a SmartList, placing a checkmark in the column to the left is the correct method. This is because checking the box designates that option as the default selection, which will automatically appear when the SmartList is accessed. This functionality is designed to streamline the user experience, ensuring that frequently used or important selections are readily available without needing additional clicks or searches.

The other options do not initiate a default selection in a SmartList. For instance, writing the default in the description won’t influence which item is selected by default; it merely provides textual information without any interactive functionality. Highlighting a selection visually indicates focus but does not set it as the default option within the SmartList. Similarly, marking an option as a "priority" does not equate to establishing it as the default; instead, it might relate to its importance in other contexts. Therefore, checking the box in the designated column is the proper method for making a selection the default.
