Data in Lookups

Lookup table entries may be extended to include data fields. This is excellent practice if only a few key fields are required, and is especially good for salutations used later in emails.

Insertion of your company name into trailing Terms and Conditions pages done this way keeps the form lean, increases flexibility and allows someone else to keep terms and conditions up to date, rather than IT having to repetitively modify the form.

Data fields are defined as [record/fieldname] directly in the lookup text.

... and lookup table entry for the above formula, which includes embedded data fields [master/Reply to] and [master/GV value], which ...



... looks like this when formatted, showing data inserted into the looked-up paragraph.


Note that data fields inserted into lookup entries are NOT EDITED in any way, ERRORS are entirely on the form developer's head.
