Lookup Editor – Level Definition Tab

The Level Definition tab on the Lookup Editor is used to define the number of levels of lookup items in the lookup version.

The lookup items in a version can be a linear list of codes, like a shopping list, or they can be organized in a hierarchy up to 10 levels deep.

Example

1st First Floor
 100 Room 100
 LF10 Lighting Fixture 10
 200 Room 200
 LF25 Lighting Fixture 25

The grid on this tab contains the following columns:

• Name: Type a name for the level. This should describe what type of code should be entered at this level. For example, "Floor Number" or "Lighting Fixture".
• Level: Enter a number corresponding to the level of the item code. The default level 0 represents the top level. If only level 0 exists, the lookup version is not considered to be hierarchical. The default level cannot be changed.
  
  To create a hierarchical list, the next level down should be 1, then 2, etc. The maximum number of levels you can create is 10.
• Code Width: Enter the maximum length for the code. For example, if you enter '5', Proliance will display an error message if someone attempts to enter a 6-character code.
• Separator: Type the character that will be used as a separator within hierarchical item codes. Examples of separators include: ABC.123, ABC-123, or ABC/123. The separator character is not used if hierarchical item codes are not in effect.

The Code Preview box shows an example as you define the code.
