What Is Manage Finder Files

Manage Finder Files in a new addition to the app that allows users to have access to their finder files after upload and make edits as needed. Previously a Tier 3 request would have to be made to delete files but now you can delete files from within the app or manually edit a record instead of having to upload a file multiple times for one or two corrections.

Idea
Finder Files and Keycodes is a good article to review if you are not yet familiar with Finder Files in OLX

Finder Files are records of customer information with a unique string assigned that can be used for reporting/data collection.
There are 2 modules that have to be installed for Finder Files to work correctly: Lookup Module (script); Finder File Import (import)
This is an optional module and does not come by default with your OrderLogix instance. Please contact OLX Customer Care team for more information

Making The Connection

Where Will I See This Within OLX?

During order entry on both Classic and SIM screens.

The DNIS being used for order entry will determine which Finder File is referenced due to the associated Campaign/Client:
             

Classic Order Entry

There are two ways to access Finder Files with classic order entry. The first is to enter the order entry form as you always have by using the DNIS, SOURCE, or PROMO and utilizing the Lookup button on the Sales Order Entry screen


The second, and most effective, is to perform the Finder File lookup before you enter the Sales Order Entry screen:

SIM Order Entry

(example only, SIM allows for customization that Classic does not)

Scroll down to Attachments and you can download Element_FinderFileLookup that contains HTML you can use to create the above element to use in your SIM form(s)
