Shared lookups

Shared lookups are fixed values that need to be shared between multiple solutions.

Example: Company department names

Shared lookups contain some restrictions on use

• Not editable through the frontend
• Not included in solution backup

In most cases a seperate solution for metadata is better, using parent keys in the solution.

Setting up a shared lookup

1. Add list of shared values
   • Create a named list: "Ressources" > "Share lookup" > "Add"
   • Add values to the list
2. Add a new field: [solution] > "Solution fields" > "Add"
   • Set type: "Lookup shared"
