Lookups

In fields that require a pre-defined value, you can perform a lookup if you do not know the value. The pre-defined value can be an existing record or a table-driven value.

Word index lookups and dynamic lookups are supported in Distribution SX.e. If the Lookup window contains fields that pertain to the value you are searching for, it is a word index lookup. If the Lookup window contains only Search field, it is a dynamic lookup.

To conduct an initial search in either type of lookup, specify a value in the field before you click the Lookup icon. Search results are then shown in the Lookup window.

To conduct a subsequent search, click Reset to clear the values in the search criteria fields. To close the Lookup window without selecting a record, click Cancel.

If a lookup field contains an existing value, the entire value is automatically selected when you initially click in the field. This feature ensures that the old value is fully deleted when you specify a new value or clear the field.
