# Add predefines to a datafield

Predefines are predefined values for particular datafields. They are added by navigating to a concept and then to the relevant datafield. Selecting <img src="/files/m7lYtB3a9xroDkVfS4yn" alt="" data-size="line"> allows you to add predefines values.

There are two options which should be highlighted:

* Ticking the box at the bottom prevents the user from entering free values.
* You can also add labels for the predefines, which can be used to provide a less ‘technical’ version of the predefine to the user (see also [Using codes instead of text fragments](/clauses/using-codes-instead-of-text-fragments.md)).

The **Label** will be shown when presenting the predefines to the user in the *Assemble Document* mode.

When creating a question for this datafield in *Design Q\&A* mode, these labels will also be automatically added as labels to the predefines in the question if:

* the question is created using the[ batch create](/qna/batch-create-pane.md) panel; or
* when you click the *Add datafield’s predefines* button after adding the question manually.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.clause9.com/concepts/how-to-concepts/add-predefines-to-a-datafield.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
