TroubleshootingHotkey Slips

Wrong hotkey with GOAMTCH

The GOAMTCH hotkey is Alt+G.

Using a Alt + A or Alt + R with GOAMTCHproduces these errors:

◦ City name does not populate

◦ Form is saved but error message displays

◦ Address data is not saved

How to fix it: Update the *PAIDEN address.

Alt+G on wrong forms

Using the Alt+G hotkey on forms other than GOAMTCH produces these errors:

◦ Address elements appear in the wrong fields

◦ Banner error message at lower left

◦ Address data is not saved

How to fix it: Do-over with correct hotkey.

Not Saveddue to errors!

Tip: Wildcards

A Question mark can replace a single characteranywhere within an address element:

C?lora,MD

An Asterisk represents any number of charactersat the end of an address element:

Bainb*, WA

You can combine wildcards in a single search:201,everhar*,cant?n,OH

Tip: Keywords

Using a keyword with the asterisk wildcard

If you enter:*university,cleveland

All Cleveland addresses with an address element containingthe word “university“ are retrieved:

Good if you are looking for a type of organization or institution;such as banks, colleges, hospitals, schools, etc.
