Match field

For relational databases and lookups, a field in a source table and a field in a related table that contain values you want to use to find matching records. (A match field is sometimes called a key field or trigger field.) In the relationships graph, match fields appear in italics.

For importing records, values in the match fields determine which records in the source table update which records in the target table.
