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 

 

 Add list of shared values

 

 Create a named list: "Ressources" > "Share lookup" > "Add" 

 Add values to the list 

 

 

 Add a new field: [solution] > "Solution fields" > "Add"

 

 Set type: "Lookup shared"
