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 can create a gender lookup reference entity related to the C_LU_GENDER lookup base object.
  1. Click
    Business Entity
    Modeling
    , and then select
    Reference Entities
    .
  2. Select the reference entity.
  3. In the tree view panel, select
    Fields
    , and then click
    Create
    .
  4. 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.
  5. Enter a field name and a field display name.
    For example, enter
    Gender Code
     for the field name and field label name.
  6. 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
    .
  7. Click
    Apply
    .
    The field you created appears in the tree view panel.
  8. Create another field. In this example, select
    Gender_Disp
     from the
    Column
     list.
  9. Enter a field name and a field display name. In this example, enter
    Gender Disp
     for the field name and field label name.
  10. Click
    Apply
    .
    The changes are saved but are not published to the MDM Hub.
