## Result

The Default Policy option on the [record form](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/nA9QWFKBcPgQt8MbGZ0Qaw#create-time-sheet-policy__time_sheet_policy_form) is selected to indicate that the current time sheet policy is set as the default policy. The Default Policy option on the earlier default time sheet policy is cleared.

You cannot delete a default time sheet
policy. You must first mark another policy as the default policy to delete the
current default policy.
