4. Target Field Value Mapping Using the Lookup Via Option
The Lookup Via option is available when the target field is a lookup field or a master-detail field. This option establishes a relationship between the records being imported and existing records in the organization by looking up values in a specified field. This is particularly useful when importing related data, such as linking accounts, contacts, matters, timekeepers, and UTBMS codes to be looked up using their names or unique identifiers.
Configuring the Lookup Via Option:
-
Choose the Target Field: During the mapping step, select the field in the target object that you want to use for the lookup. For instance, if you're linking accounts to invoice line items, you might choose the Account field.
-
Specify the Lookup Field: In the Lookup Via section, specify the field on the related object that should be used for the lookup. For example, if you're matching accounts by account number, specify the Account Number field in the drop-down.
-
Handle Multiple Lookup Results Found: In situations where more than one record is found, you may choose how to handle those situations as mentioned below:
-
Use the first match if multiple results are found: AdvoLogix will pick the first value if more than one match is found for the selected field.
-
Report with an error if more than one match is found: AdvoLogix will mark the row with an error message saying more than one match is found for the field. (This will halt the invoice upload process due to an error.)
-
Use the first match if multiple results are found: AdvoLogix will pick the first value if more than one match is found for the selected field.
- Insert null value(s) if no match is found: This option enables to insert null values or create no lookup relationship between the objects if no matches are found.
