Purpose of this plug-in is to provide a 24 Hour Accurate Business & Government Lookup
The plug-in consists of several pages. All of them will the shown below:
Gather search criteria :
In this page the plug-in gathers information from the application. To find a business other than the one in the linked screen, uncheck the “Values Linked to Screen” checkbox and enter the data manually. Recheck the checkbox to return to read-only mode and refresh data from the application's screen.
Each of the rows in the caption column can be used to highlight where the value came form. In order to do this the user needs to click the name of the value. For example if the Name is clicked it will highlight the place in the application where the Name was entered.
The Source column shows where the value came from. It will either write the name of the application or say manual if the value was typed in directly to the plug-in.
The two rows marked with "*" are mandatory fields and the user can't continue without filling those out.

To search for businesses that meet the criteria the Next button needs to be clicked. After this the Select a listing page will show up.
Select a listing :

On this page all businesses that match the criteria are shown. The user has to select one business and click next in order to continue.
Finished :

This is the final page containing all the data. There are two paste options:
One is to use the paste button to paste the values back to the application. This option will fill the data back to the application.
The other is paste preview which will allow the inspection of the data. The target column shows where the data will be pasted (ie the name of the application).
Configuring the plug-in :

There are several options that can be configured in this section. In order for this application to work the user has to enter the “StrikeIron User & Password” so that the plug-in can communicate with the server. Other options are:
- Remember me – saves the password so that it doesn't have to be entered every time
- Auto Lookup – clicks the lookup button so that it does now require user interaction
- Auto Paste – pastes the value back to the application without user interaction
- Auto Close – closes the plug-in after the value is pasted back to the application
- All Match options – these option determine how the data is matched
- Search Type – defines the search type ie. if you choose PersonCentric the system will try to match the person first
- Show Unpublished – in order to show upublished records this option needs to be selected
The Auto options help get a more automated response from the system. For example if Auto lookup is selected, the system will look up the value right after it is called without any user interaction. The highest level of automation can be achieved if all 3 Auto options are selected, this way there will be no need for user interaction after the plug-in is called. It will harvest the values from the application, lookup and correct the address, paste the values back to the application and finally close the plug-in.
In order for these values to be saved the user has to click the Save button. |
