Defining lookup maps

You define a lookup map to associate a source object and a source field with a target object and related fields. The product is delivered with pre-defined lookup maps, but you can define your own lookup maps for objects that you create.

Procedure

  1. On the Attributes tab, select the attribute for which you want to specify details.
  2. Click Edit Lookup Map.
  3. Click New Row.
  4. Specify the following details for the target attribute:
    • In the Target Attribute field, select the attribute to which you want to return values.
    • In the Source Object field, specify the source from which values are returned.
    • In the Source Key field, specify the key of the source object from which you want to return values.
    • In the Sequence field, specify a numeric value to determine the attributes that are to be set before other attributes. A lower numeric value has priority over a higher numeric value.
  5. Optional: Select the Allow Null check box if you want the target attribute to accept null values.
  6. Click OK.
