Configuring a Dependent Lookup

To configure a dependent lookup, create a new reference entity in the tree view panel and then associate the root node with a lookup base object. To create a one-to-many relationship within the lookup, in the tree view panel, select

One to Many

under the parent node and then click

Create

. For example, you can create a country lookup reference entity related to the C_LU_COUNTRY 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 base object column to associate with the field from the

Column

list.

For example, select

Country_Code

from the

Column

list.

The 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

Country Code

for the field name and field display 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

Country_Name_Disp

from the

Column

list.

Enter a field name and a field display name. In this example, enter

Country Name Disp

for the field name and field label name.

Select

One to Many

under the parent node, and then click

Create

In the properties panel, select the base object that contains the lookup child node data.

For example, select the lookup base object C_LU_State.

Select the constraint reference that defines the MDM Hub relationship between the base object of the parent node and the base object of the child node.

For example, select the constraint C_LU_STATE(COUNTRY_CODE).C_LU_COUNTRY(COUNTRY_CODE).

The constraints are created in the MDM Hub before you configure the business entity structure.

Optionally, enter a node name, a node label name, and a node description.

For example, enter LU State for the node name and node label name.

Click

Apply

The changes are saved but are not published to the MDM Hub.
