Forms can get information such as product descriptions, prices, and pictures from databases or other systems and enter it in the form for you. Lookups make filling out a form easier and more accurate. The cell in which you enter a value is called the lookup cell.
When you enter a value in the lookup cell and tab out, data is retrieved and entered in other cells on the form. If you click a button such as Save before the lookup is complete, the form is not saved until the lookup is complete.
NOTE Lookups can't be done if the form is offline. When you put the form back online, you must enter or change the value in the lookup cell and tab out of the cell. This allows the lookup to get the necessary data and enter it in the appropriate cells on the form.
