2.2 View Lookup

The View Lookup page facilitates you to view the list of lookups created in the system and perform various actions on a lookup.

By default, it displays all the records that exist in open or closed, and authorized or unauthorized status. However, you can search for records with specific search criteria. Each record displays the basic information of a lookup.

You can perform the following actions:
  • Modify details of a lookup. However, only the maker can modify a lookup before the first authorization. Once the first authorization is done, the lookup can be modified by any other user.

    A system-defined lookup consists of system-defined lookup codes. When you modify a system-defined lookup, you can also add lookup codes manually. But you cannot delete or modify the system-defined lookup codes. You can only delete the user-defined lookup codes that you add manually for a system-defined lookup.

  • Authorize the lookups that are created, modified, closed, or reopened.
  • Close an authorized lookup that you don’t want to use.
  • Reopen a closed lookup.
  • Delete a lookup that is not yet authorized upon creation. Only the maker of the lookup, can delete it. Once a lookup is authorized, you cannot delete it.
  • View detailed information of a lookup in read-only mode.
