Local Lookup InfoScript
The Local Lookup InfoScript folder is located under either of NeuStar's Settings folders. Double-click on this folder to access the Local Lookup InfoScript window. During the Import of Services and Features, this InfoScript is used to customize Local Lookup. For example, if a product is priced differently in each region, but has the same USOC, Local Lookup could determine the products associated with that USOC. Local Lookup InfoScript would be created by IDI Billing Solutions using such information as the order type and attributes to select the specific product for the customer's region.
Enter the InfoScript in the Local Lookup InfoScript field.
