Validation form database lookups
You can define a database lookup button that enables Validation users to populate validation fields with search results. These lookups can be used to populate only text, check box, and combo-box fields.
There are four types of database lookup button:
-
Uses either a Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Server, or an ODBC DSN connection so that Validation users can search for information.
-
Enables you to use a fuzzy database so users can search for information.
-
Enables you to select a result rejected by any locator as long as it has configured subfields.
-
Enables you to use an Associative Search Lookup so users can search for information.
Validation users use the results returned by the lookup to help validate a document.
The key properties for the database lookup button differ for each data source type so that you can customize the buttons.
If a field is populated from a database, image coordinates are unavailable and no image snippet is displayed beside the field value. This behavior does not occur if a field is populated from a locator alternative lookup.
