The following procedure explains how to create a new lookup table.
-
In the Reference Data Explorer, expand the Lookup Tables folder by selecting the + icon beside the folder.
-
Right-click the folder for the item that you require and then select New.
-
Accept the default item tag or type a name of up to 80 characters for the item lookup table.
If you are creating a number of lookup tables at one time, you may want to stop at
this point and edit the lookup table properties at a later stage.
-
On the Lookup Table Properties dialog, edit the lookup table properties as required. For more details, see Edit Lookup Tables.
-
On the Preferences dialog, General tab, under Open after creating or duplicating an item, you can specify whether to open the Item Tag dialog when you create a new lookup table.
-
You access the Lookup Table Properties Dialog by selecting the Common Properties command on the shortcut menu or you can specify in the preferences to open the dialog directly when you create a new lookup table.
