Lookup Tables
Maintenance
Lookup Table Maintenance is a separate function of FormTrap Spooler Version 8, with the Lookup Table used by both FTForm8 and by the production system. Lookup Table Maintenance should be a to a file accessible to FTForm8, in the same way as substitution files. Transfer of the file to Production is done the same way as Substitutions, in Spooler, Data Folders.
Lookup tables are an option when defining Delivery Tags and Form Fields. A lookup table element contains two fields; Name and Value. Name is the "lookup", normally type-of-lookup suffixed with a field from the FormTrap XML definition, which substitutes the Value portion of the table entry into the Delivery Tag or Form Field. Example: "Staff Email WPG" returns "Paul.Green@FormTrap.com". Any number of different lookup tables may be defined, all are stored in the one XML file.
To define a new lookup table, select New, otherwise Open... the lookup table required.
You may add one element 
, or multiple elements
.
Multiple element addition leaves the previous value shown, so you
can overkey just the parts that change.
Select 
to
end each entry and 
to finish.
Highlighting an existing table entry allows access to the Edit
and
Delete 
buttons.
Include a description of the item in the key value where the table holds different tables (Staff Email and Staff Printer in the above picture).
To finish maintenance, select File, Save or Save As... .
