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.
