Lookup ID Key Source

The XML node location of the value that will be used by the Workplace Lookup to assign a unique identification key to each choice item. If the Lookup Configuration has been set up to utilize a different Lookup Value to Store and URL to XML, this property becomes required for the Workplace Lookup to function correctly. This property can be specified in one of two ways:

1) A simple xpath query, represented by the following:
                   :xpath=(your xpath query here)

2) An XML string, which allows you to specify a more complex value consisting of multiple xpath queries and static text values. The XML string will contain a values root node with child value nodes representing your individual string pieces. The value nodes contain a single attribute type which tells the property whether it should treat the value as static text or an xpath query. The attribute values are type="text" or type="xpath".

Default:        empty

Example:       :xpath=NewDataSet/Table1/Title
                   <values>
                             <value type="xpath">NewDataSet/Table1/Title</value>
                             <value type="text"> - </value>
                             <value type="xpath">NewDataSet/Table1/Description</value>
                   </values>

TIP: If there is no single value that you can use to uniquely identify each choice, try using the second property to join two or more values to create one unique value.
