Edit a static query lookup table
You can edit the query used to feed a static lookup table following these steps:
- Go to Data Search → Lookup Management.
- Open the ellipsis menu of the required query lookup and click Edit. You will be taken to the query window, which shows the query you used to feed the dynamic lookup.
- Perform the necessary query operations to get the new required one.
- Now click the gear icon in the query toolbar and select Table Operations → Set this query in dynamic lookup.
- Make the necessary changes in the Edit Query Lookup window (add or remove columns, or change the key column). You can also set a new query period using the query window toolbar time controls, then clicking Apply Interval.
- Click Save settings. The dynamic lookup is now updated.
It may take several minutes to apply the changes. Go to Data Search → Lookup Management and check the Status column of the dynamic lookup. Changes will be applied once the indicator turns green.
Note that dynamic query lookups cannot be edited.
To add values from a dynamic lookup to a data table, follow the steps explained in Add lookup values to your query.
