ID Lookup

Overview

The ID Lookup User Item is a Content Item that creates a simple input form on a Custom Page. The form provides input fields visitors can use to navigate to a person page entry based on a person's TMG ID number. The form uses a script that executes in the visitor's browser and does not depend on any remote server, so it will work with sites published on the web and sites published on removable media such as CDs, DVDs, and flash drives.

The ID Lookup User Item is not intended for typical public sites because it can only be used by visitors who know TMG ID numbers. However, for sites where some visitors know TMG ID numbers, including sites made by Second Site users for their own use, the ID Lookup User Item may be useful.

The ID Lookup User Item is a Content Item. It does not create a page of its own and so you must place it on a Custom Page.

The Custom Page Help page includes examples of how to use User Items.

The ID Lookup form uses a JSON index that is included as part of the Custom Page. For very large sites, 100,000 people or more, it may take a little time for the page to load due to the size of the index.

The ID Lookup form relies on Javascript. If a visitor has Javascript disabled, the form will not appear on the page.
