Alternate Lookup IDs for Designations

When you add a designation, you specify a lookup ID. This primary lookup ID appears in the Lookup ID field on the designation record. From the Lookup IDs tab of a designation record, you can manually assign alternate lookup IDs to the record. For example, if you previously used a different system, you can assign the ID associated with the record in this system as an alternate lookup ID.

You can create as many alternate lookup IDs as necessary and use the IDs when you perform a designation search. For information about how to search for a designation, see Search for Designations.
