LookupOrder - Can I have 2 scenarios with the same EntityID?

[greychain]

I need to search for a number in this order Leads, Customer, Contact. In the contact information there may be 2 numbers to search but I'm only able to search for one number at a time.

Can I have 2 scenarios with the same enityID or do they need to be unique?

Yes, you can have 2 lookup scenarios with the same EntityId attribute. This is how the ordering logic works:
1) The CRM engine gets all the scenarios with an empty Id, in the order they are specified in the template.
2) It re-orders the scenarios considering the EntityOrder attribute. This way, for example a scenario that was originally the last in the XML, could be considered the first.
3) If you have 2 scenarios with the same EntityId, the original order in the XML template will be respected.

Thanks for that.

I assume it goes Customers / Leads / Contacts / Contacts / Suppliers
Could you explain this. I have 5 scenarios. What would the Default be?

Default means without Id. All the contact lookup scenarios are like this.
