Step 3: Update Lookups.xml

Add below to your lookups.xml

 <table id="CUSGLNAVIGATOR" inputmode="readonly" selectmode="single">
  <tablebody displayrowsperpage="20" filterable="true" filterexpanded="true" id="cusglnavigator_lookup_tablebody">
   <tablecol dataattribute="GLACCOUNT" id="cusglnavigator_lookup_tablebody_col_1" mxevent="selectrecord" mxevent_desc="Go To %1" sortable="true" type="link"/>
   <tablecol dataattribute="ACCOUNTNAME" id="cusglnavigator_lookup_tablebody_col_2" mxevent="selectrecord" mxevent_desc="Go To %1" sortable="true" type="link"/>
   <tablecol dataattribute="ACTIVEDATE" id="cusglnavigator_lookup_tablebody_col_3" mxevent="selectrecord" mxevent_desc="Go To %1" sortable="true" type="link"/>
   <tablecol dataattribute="EXPIREDATE" id="cusglnavigator_lookup_tablebody_col_4" mxevent="selectrecord" mxevent_desc="Go To %1" sortable="true" type="link"/>
   <tablecol dataattribute="ACTIVE" id="cusglnavigator_lookup_tablebody_col_5" mxevent="selectrecord" mxevent_desc="Go To %1" sortable="true" type="link"/>
   <tablecol dataattribute="GLACCTYPE" id="cusglnavigator_lookup_tablebody_col_6" mxevent="selectrecord" mxevent_desc="Go To %1" sortable="true" type="link"/>
  </tablebody>
 </table>

Step 4: Add a field to Workorder application

In application designer > Go to "WOTRACK" application.
Add a new text field label as "GL Account" and set attribute as GLACCOUNT
Update lookup for GLACCOUNT field to CUSGLNAVIGATOR.
