Creating Lookups
PRODUCT MANAGEMENT > ADMINISTRATION
Lookups are lists of choices that can be defined as attributes in Orckestra Commerce Cloud. You can add or edit existing lookups. Lookups cannot be deleted once created. Use this option to create lookup types for attributes to be used in profiles, products and categories.
For example, you could create a list of colors that correspond to apparel you usually sell. The list could include Black, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow or White.
When associated to an attribute and added to a product definition, a product editor can select one of the color from the list as the product attribute to describe the product.
When set as an attribute, you can set a default selection or allow multi-selections. For more information about setting a lookup as an attribute, see (insert link).
You need to specify at least one value for any lookups that you create. You cannot create a lookup that contains no lookup values.
