• Key Concepts: 
  A fallback clause is a feature of SAP Legal Content Management (LCM) that allows users to define a default value for a field in the event that the field is left blank. This ensures that all fields are populated with valid data and helps to prevent errors. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the fallback clause, users must first define the default value for the field in question. This can be done by selecting the “Fallback” option from the drop-down menu in the field settings. Once this is done, any time the field is left blank, the default value will be automatically populated. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a fallback clause, it is important to ensure that the default value is appropriate for the field in question. For example, if a field requires a numerical value, then the fallback should be set to a number rather than a text string.
