Configuring a Lookup

Configuring a Lookup

To configure a lookup, create a new reference entity in the tree view panel and then associate the root node with a lookup base object. For example, you create a gender lookup reference entity related to the C_LU_GENDER lookup base object.
  1. In the tree view, expand the parent node under which you want to create a child node.
    For example, expand the LU Gender node.
  2. Under the expanded node, select
    field
    .
  3. In the tree view, click
    Create
    .
  4. From the New Field form in the node properties panel, select the lookup base object column to associate with the field from the Column list.
    For example, select
    Gender_Code
    from the Column list.
    The lookup base object column is created in the MDM Hub before you add a field to a node.
  5. Enter a field name and a field display name.
    For example, enter
    Gender Code
    for the field name and field label name.
  6. Create another field. In this example, select
    Gender_Disp
    from the Column list.
  7. Enter a field name and a field display name. In this example, enter
    Gender Disp
    for the field name and field label name.
  8. Optionally, configure the Read only, Required, Type, URI, Searchable, and Filter properties for the field you created.
    If you enable the Searchable property, additional search properties appear. For information about the search properties, see the chapter about search in the
    Multidomain MDM Configuration Guide
    .
  9. Click
    Apply
    .
    The changes are saved but are not published to the MDM Hub.
