1.14.1 FIELD
“Field” element is only available when the data collecting form is set to refer to a lookup
file. For “Field” element, you set an input field to either admit the data read or fetch
lookup value.
A lookup file usually contains a list of key fields (i.e. the indexed fields) and other
associated fields. Normally, the "
key field" is kept as Field #1. When an input field refers
to the key field and finds its data matching, the following input fields will proceed to
import the data from the remaining associated fields of that lookup file.
The following screenshots show you the “Field” options available when the input data
type is selected as Integer/Real/Auto(+/-), or otherwise:
For the input data types other than Integer, Real, and Auto (+/-), see left below.
For the input data types of Integer, Real, and Auto (+/-), see right below.
Note: For the field options with a prefixed arithmetic sign (+, -), the input data will be
added or deducted from the lookup value.
Lookup Field for data type:
integer,
real,
auto (+/-)
Lookup Field for data type
