Lookup helps you to choose records from a related entity. When you select a related entity and enter search criteria, such as a name or email address, lookup automatically begins to resolve the partial text and displays any matching records. If no records are displayed after you have typed the full text of your search criteria, a message is displayed specifying that there are no records.

Also, you can create a new record by selecting the **New** button. You must have sufficient permissions to view the **New** button and create a record. When you select the lookup field, the five most recently used records are displayed along with five favorite records. Which records are displayed depends on your view history and the favorites you’ve pinned.

along with seven of your favorite records. If you have not pinned any favorites, only the most recently viewed records will be displayed.
