1. Select a lookup type from the navigator tree and choose New Lookup Code from the Edit menu. A Lookup Code property page appears.

2. Enter an Internal Name with no leading/trailing spaces and a Display Name for the lookup code. You can also enter an optional description. All Oracle Workflow APIs, SQL scripts, and PL/SQL procedures refer to the internal name when identifying a lookup code.

Attention: To update the internal name for a lookup code once it is defined, you must use a special SQL script called wfchluc.sql. You should only use this script to correct errors in a lookup code's internal name during design time. Do not use this script to rename lookup codes that are involved in running instances of processes. See: Wfchluc.sql, Oracle Workflow Administrator's Guide.

Caution: Do not include colons ":" or leading/trailing spaces in your internal name.

3. Choose Apply to save your changes, OK to save your changes and close the property page or Cancel to cancel your changes and close the property page.

4. The lookup code you just defined now appears beneath the lookup type you created it for in the navigator tree. You can review or edit the properties of this lookup code at any time by double-clicking on the lookup code in the navigator tree or by selecting the lookup code and choosing Properties from the Edit menu.

5. Repeat step 1 if you wish to create additional lookup codes for a specific lookup type.
