What is a Lookup
a way to enrich (add new fields) your data from a lookup table
you can lookup data from an external file
Types of lookups
CSV - small static data sets
KV store lookups - external fields are found in a KV store collection, use for large lookup tables that change frequently
external or scripted - fields found in external source, use python scripts or binary executables to populate fields
Geospatial - add external fields that define boundaries of mapped regions (KML or KMZ files)
Lookup definition
Whenn you have a lookup you need a lookup definition
One definition can apply to multiple lookups
Need:
Name, type (ex: file-based), select the lookup file
How do you validate lookups
| inputlookup
inputlookup
| lookup
lookup functions
OUTPUT - adds fields from lookup table
OUTPUTNEW - same as above but only adds the field if it doesnt exist in data
INPUTLOOKUP - reads and displays data directly from lookup file
OUTPUTLOOKUP - Writes or updates data in lookupfile
