Word Lookup Settings

Setup Word Lookups for each Module from Navigator > Setup > [Module] > Settings > Words tab for Masterfile records.

For each lookup type, you can select which fields to index the records on. The Word Lookups will search all fields listed for the words entered.

For example, by default IC Product is indexed on Description and Details. When you do a Word Lookup on IC Products, the lookup will search for your words in all Product and Description fields, and will return records containing the words.

You can also set up:

Break Characters	Characters in addition to spaces that delimit ends of words (for example, colon, semi-colon, dash). A space is considered a break character.
