Alterian Lookup Step
- Ben Clark
Overview
Improves performance when looking up a value from a datagrid with specific lookup patterns and conditions.
This step is used internally in our Offer and Category Management Public Templates
Plugin Configuration
Within the plugin:
The following settings can be configured:
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Lookup Step | Identifies the flow which contains the datagrid to be looked up. |
Keys to lookup value | How we lookup the values: Field - Name of the field from the flow that should be used to lookup LookupField - Field from the lookup data grid that should be used to lookup against Transformation - This process currently only suports the use of a single prebuild transformation “Split Lookup” that will lookup values split by a common delimiter. In this case the “/” is the chosen Split pattern.
|
Specify the fields to retrieve | The fields to retrieve from your chosen data grid and the data type they should be created as in the flow |
