default values
Out-of-box configuration
Default values are the preset settings or parameters a system uses when no alternative is specified.
Software, forms, and configurations ship with defaults that work for typical cases: The default value for the timeout is 30 seconds.
Users can override defaults with custom values, but if they don't, the defaults apply automatically.
The term extends beyond computing to any situation with assumed starting points.
