Using lookups

Lookup editors provide a list of predefined values stored in another table, with values typically being constrained by the database.  In some cases its acceptable to configure lookups to be suggested lists, allowing users to add values that are not in the list.

Selecting a value can be achieved in a few ways:

Values can also be typed in-place:

Data_Interface_Grid_Cell_Lookup_Typing

Clicking on the Button_Popup button will show the lookup list, where the user can select a value:

Data_Interface_Grid_Cell_Lookup_Popup

With the pop-up shown, typing will automatically filter the list:
