Want to select first record when app starts

I have an application in Experience Builder.

I have a small set of features (polygons) and information will display in a "column" when a record is selected.

When the application starts, no records are selected so the panel shows just the field names.  I cannot find a way to make either a specific, or even just the first record be selected when the app starts. 

Alternatively, I would be happy with a way to set default values when no record is selected.  I can't see how to do either.

Am I just missing this?  My attempts to search for an answer have, of course, been fruitless so far.

Thanks in advance

FYI - if your ExpBuilder app includes a "Details" widget, the first record in the list will be selected on start.  The "List" widget doesn't have that same behavior.

Hi Ken,

If you want to set default values when there is no feature selected, you can check on the View for empty selection on the layer settings of the Data panel.

So I guess the "details" widget is currently named "info" widget?

We added and info widget and made it very small and sent to back so it is hidden and that works well enough.  Thanks for the tip.
