...

       1.      In the Records pane, select the record(s) containing the lookup fields you want to link to an object.

       4.      In the Available objects pane, select the object(s) you want to link and add them to the Selected objects pane.

       5.      Click OK to close the object selector dialog and link the selected object(s).

       6.      The Data Manager displays the linked object(s) in the lookup field.
