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 can create a gender lookup reference entity related to the C_LU_GENDER lookup base object.
Click
Business Entity
Modeling
, and then select
Reference Entities
.
Select the reference entity.
In the tree view panel, select
Fields
, and then click
Create
.
From the New Field form in the 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.
Enter a field name and a field display name.
For example, enter
Gender Code
for the field name and field label name.
Optionally, configure the Read Only, Required, URI, Type, Display Format, Filter, and Searchable properties for the field you created.
If you enable the Searchable property, additional search properties appear. For information about the search properties, see the
Multidomain MDM Configuration Guide
.
Click
Apply
.
The field you created appears in the tree view panel.
Create another field. In this example, select
Gender_Disp
from the
Column
list.
Enter a field name and a field display name. In this example, enter
Gender Disp
for the field name and field label name.
Click
Apply
.
The changes are saved but are not published to the MDM Hub.
