Define Static Lookup Values for a Partition

You can partition static lookup values. Users of a partitioned lookup see different values in the lookup, depending on the partition to which an object instance belongs.

Partitioned lookups allow you to enforce standard options throughout an entire branch of a partition model. You can also add lookup values to meet the unique requirements of a business unit partition.

You can add partitioned values to default static lookups or to user-defined static lookups. If an object instance is not partitioned, the lookup shows only values for the System partition. You can assign a lookup to a partition when you create it, or you can modify an existing lookup and then assign it to a partition.

Follow these steps:

1. Open Administration, and from Data Administration, click Lookups.
2. Click the name of the static lookup whose values you want to add to a partition.

   The properties for the static lookup appear.

3. Click Values to see the values that are assigned to the lookup.
4. Click the name of the value that you want to assign to a partition.
5. Complete the following fields:

   Partition

   Defines the partition for a lookup value.

   Partition Association Mode

   Specifies which partitions can include the lookup value other than the selected partition.

6. Save your changes.
