Add a Lookup List
To add a new lookup list
- In the Web Application, select Designer Field Types Lookups from the menu. Existing lookups list in the alphabetical order.
- Click New
- <New Record> displays at the top of the section.
- Enter data into the fields:
- Name: Mandatory field. While you can enter a long name, try to keep it short so it can be read easily in the middle section.
- Description: Optional. If you need to add more information about the Lookup name, add it here.
- Mark for Deletion (will be deleted on next publish): Optional. Tick this box if you want to delete this lookup.
- Lookup ID: System-generated number; you cannot change it.
- Optional: Add lookup items as you create a lookup list.
- Click Save to save the Lookup List.

Every time a lookup is created, a new lookup item <Undefined> will automatically be created by the system. This item can be edited, but it should NOT be deleted.

If a lookup has been Marked for Deletion, the Publish Process will check if this lookup has been referenced anywhere. If this is the case, the lookup will NOT be deleted, and the Publish Log will show a corresponding log entry.
