Home → Using LincDoc 3.0 → Database Lookups → Overview
LincDoc database lookups are designed to read data from external databases and prepopulate data into a LincDoc form. A lookup can be configured on one or many fields to refine a search to a single or many records. To enable a lookup, a LincDoc administrator must first fully understand the data being read and the field types being prepopulated in the LincDoc form. The process starts by configuring a datasource at the LincDoc server level using the LWSA screen. Once configured, a lookup can be defined and configured on a specific field in a LincDoc form; the same lookup can also be used on multiple fields inside multiple forms.
