Lookup

A lookup is a data grid activity linked to a parameter. The activity shows records from the same table as the table defined on the parameter.

After the lookup completes successfully, the parameter stores the field value of the selected record, based on the field defined on the parameter.

Link an activity to a parameter on the Parameter card by entering the activity for the lookup data grid in the Lookup Activity No. field. Only activities that are data grids and have the same source table as the parameter can serve as the lookup activity.

When a user selects a button of type Lookup on an activity, the framework calls the activity entered in the Lookup Activity No. field on the parameter linked to the current active control. After the user selects a record in the lookup activity, the application returns to the previous activity and fills the parameter with the selected record.
