Running and Canceling Domain Record Lookups

Check Selected Missing or Stale Domain Records

Use This for Focused Updates

Use Check Selected Missing or Stale Domain Records when you want to update only specific rows. This is useful when you have selected a small group of domains and want to avoid checking the entire table.

Select the Rows First

In the Domain Workspace, select the domains you want to check. The action looks for selected rows where lookup data is missing or older than your freshness settings.

Review Results After the Lookup

After the lookup finishes, review the updated columns and any messages in the details or status area. Rows that could not be updated may show a lookup-related status instead of fresh data.

Check All Missing or Stale Domain Records

Use This for Project-Wide Updates

Use Check All Missing or Stale Domain Records when you want the application to check the whole Domain Workspace for rows that need lookup data. This is helpful after importing a list or reopening an older project.

Only Needed Rows Are Checked

This action is intended for rows with missing or stale lookup data. It helps avoid unnecessary repeated lookups while still bringing the project up to date.

Let the Lookup Finish

Large projects may take time because lookups depend on registry responses, network conditions, and rate limits. You can continue reviewing rows while watching for completion status.

Force Refresh Selected Domains

When to Force a Refresh

Use Force Refresh Selected Domains when you want fresh lookup data for selected rows even if the existing data is recent. This is useful after a known registration change, transfer, renewal, or correction.

Select Domains Carefully

Select only the domains that truly need a forced refresh. Forced lookups bypass normal freshness checks and may repeat network requests that would otherwise be skipped.

Review Updated Values

After the refresh, compare the updated fields with the previous values if needed. Some registries may still return limited data or temporary errors.

Force Refresh All Domains

Use With Care

Force Refresh All Domains requests fresh lookup data for every domain in the current Domain Workspace. Use this only when you have a clear reason to refresh the entire project.

Why It May Take Longer

This action can require many lookup requests. Completion time depends on the number of domains, registry responses, network conditions, and your lookup preference settings.

Review Lookup Status

When the refresh completes, review status columns and details for rows that returned errors, limited data, or no registration data.

Canceling Domain Record Lookups

When to Cancel

You may want to cancel domain-record lookups if you started the wrong action, selected too many rows, need to change lookup preferences, or want to stop a long-running batch.

Use the Cancel Action

Use the cancel lookup action while a lookup batch is running. The application stops the current operation as safely as possible and keeps any results that were already completed.

Check Partial Results

After canceling, some rows may have fresh data while others remain unchanged. You can run a smaller lookup later for rows that still need data.
