Compound fields

[Former Member]

Hi,

What is the exact meaning of compund fields?

the definition days " you can create a compund source field for mapping to a destination lookup field that has multiple display fields".

What does "display field" mean?

can anyone give a example for the above please.

Thanks,

Vignesh

Hello Vignesh

For example:

LUT has 3 fields(Field1,Field2,Field3)

when you set display field to "yes" for all

in Data Manager

when you select that LUT from main table

you seeing list of LUT values in next format

Field1;Field2;Field3

if you set display field to "yes" only for Field1 and Field 3

in Data Manager when you select that LUT from main table

you seeing list of LUT values in next format:

Field1;Field3

Hi,

Compound field is mainly created for importing data in a lookup qualified field of main table.

Qualified tables can have more than 1 Non Qualifier fields as display field, and then in to import data into this lookup qualified field of main table you have to create compound field in import manager.
