This article describes how to configure templates for lookup tables in Smart ID Identity Manager. this is done in Identity Manager Admin. The actual values of these lookup tables can then be entered in Identity Manager Operator.
Lookup table entries can be used to create selection lists for any kind of user-defined objects. For example, a list of departments, or a list of addresses for locations. Lookup tables provide a mechanism to add a generic set of data, which can be used in a search within a form.
Prerequisites
