Look-up icon

Tradeflow provides  Look-up Look-Up icon for fast, accurate and easy data entry.

Any data entered directly in the field in the Detail-view is automatically picked up by the Look-up feature. The feature presumes the data with "begins" as the locator and runs the look-up for verification. The following procedure will show you how you can use Look-up to enter the Destination Port Code.

 

To use the Look-up feature:

 

1    Click Look-up Look-Up icon. (In this example, this icon appears next to the Destination Port Code field.)

 

2    The Destination Port Code Look-up window pops up.

 

3    Enter one or more characters as key values to look-up and select one of the following:

    • Begins - The field value begins with this key value.

    • Contains - The field value has this key value somewhere in it.

    • Equals - The field value exactly matches the key value.

    • Alternatively, you can also click Search without entering any value to get all results.

 

4    Click Search. The list of records appears based on your search criteria. Click to select the record you want and the code will be populated in the transaction Look-up field.
