A lookup file is a database created for information reference. Up to three lookup files are
supported by the mobile computer and definable with the Batch AG. If the settings on a
Lookup property page are improperly made, it may go wrong when an input field of a
form refers to a lookup field.
The Lookup property page makes it possible for users to provide information about data
structure of the lookup file(s) they are going to use and to configure the related
parameters.
Therefore, to collect data with the help of lookup file(s), the following settings are needed
in addition to the “Lookup” property page:
The [Lookup] group box featured on the Form property page. See 1.5 Lookup (File).
The setting of “Data Type” of an input field on the Form property page. See 1.9.8
Lookup
(Data Type).
The setting of the “Field” element of an input field on the Form property page. See
1.14.1 Field.
Users need to apply an application template that refers to lookup files to be able to send
the lookup files to the mobile computer; otherwise the command 3. Utilities | 8. Load
Lookup File will be absent from the user application main menu.
