Learn about: Autofills in RIMMF

To save the time of the rimmfer, we have RIMMF autofill the data for certain specified elements, using data already provided in cells for other elements. Some autofills are hardcoded, others can be changed by the rimmfer.

Hardcoded Autofills

These automated fills cannot be changed by the user, but we welcome any suggestions for improvement or for additional places where new fills can be added.

In the Build WEM process

Autofills in the Build WEM process can really help to save inputting time.
