Record Lookup

The Record Lookup screen provides a simple database query tool that allows you to search a table in your marketing database for a specified text string within a single field. From this screen, you can access detailed information about a record, including a log of all changes made to the record, the history of all activities associated with this record, and any joins between this record and a record in another table. You can also use the Record Lookup screen as a quick data entry tool for adding new records to your database.

One common use of the Record Lookup screen is to check the "Status ID" value for a consumer. Status ID Codes are associated with a Sender Profile, and are used to indicate the eligibility of the recipient to be included in a marketing Campaign.

The Record Lookup screen is accessible from the Main menu, select Data > Management > Record Lookup
