We have an ETM Channel where we want to fetch a n existing Building in Database using “Address1”.

Basically, the details that we can use to fetch Building Short Code are:

  1. Address 1
  2. Postal Code

We don’t see any lookup filter for Address1. Is there any work around? 

I don't see this in ETM 1.5, but it does seem to be a new feature in ETM 1.6.


This is a bug, fixed in ETM 1.6 - “Query Parameters that are not fields on the target REST resource are now available to select as Search Criteria.”


Is there any workaround in version 11.5. We are upgrading to 11.6 later this year and till that time we need a solution.


You can fetch a list of possible Building’s into a variable, then loop through that list for the one that matches. Postcode is a supported criteria in 1.5 - so we can use that to limit the list of possible buidlings:

I haven’t tested this - so there may be syntax errors , but the concept will work. 

You don’t need to do the looping in a separate variable. You could do it directly in another field. For example here’s how the default location for the matching building could be specified:

This avoids the need to do any other assyst searches (other than the buildings for a post code) - so should be fast & efficient.
