  2. Optionally, view the class contents if they are not already displayed.

    The hidden class contents are displayed.

    Basic locator properties are displayed in the Details window, and a new locator is added to the list of locators in the Project Tree.

  4. Optionally, rename the new locator in the Project Tree by changing the initial name.

    Add an name for the locator. For example, for a Format Locator to locate a customer number, add a name such as FL_CustNo. Similarly, for an Advanced Zone Locator to find receipt information, call it AZL_Receipt. Refer to the naming conventions for more information on locator name restrictions.

  5. Select a Locator Method in the list.
  6. Click Properties to open the locator properties window and configure your new locator.
