Question

Cloud - Entity vs Lookup

asked on February 3, 2020

I have probably a simple question but am unclear on the lingo.  We don't have all that many Cloud users as the automation, lookups, dynamic fields, and other limitations.  

The documentation says that Lookup Tables are meant as a replacement of Entities.  I don't seem to find the ability to update the lookup table using workflow.  The simple scenario is to have a Form hooked up to a lookup table, change a field, and then have workflow update that lookup table.  Is that possible?  I don't seem to be putting the pieces together on the interaction between the items.

 

Thanks,

Chris

Yes, you can definitely do this. 

Once you have created a Lookup Table you will want to create some queries using a Lookup Table Query Rule.

SELECT queries can be used in Forms to auto-populate or look up data in the form, and SELECT, INSERT, and UPDATE queries can be used in Workflow to look up or modify your table.

Additionally, Lookup Tables can be used to provide data for dynamic fields in the cloud repository.
