DefaultValue Post-processing Function

The DefaultValue Post-processing function explains itself by the name (default value). This function can be used in the agents to fill any value, where any cell is by default blank or empty. For example, I have this scraping agent “DefaultValue Function Example (Post-Processing)” in my account which helps to understand the working of DefaultValue Post-processing function. This agent uses the Category field for implementing the default value in each row. If you notice the screenshot below, it clarifies very well.
