Purpose
The CorasWorks Workplace Lookup 2.0 is an enhanced version of the previous version (1.0) that allows users to configure the Lookup to be more performance-efficient by introducing a search enabled option, in addition the classic drop-down option.
A Lookup is a customized column that can be added to a list, allowing the creation of a child view of data contained in any list field, be it from SharePoint, SQL, RSS, or any list that outputs to XML, no matter where that list is located. Workplace Lookup columns can be added to an existing list, pulling information from across a single SharePoint site or from data that is located remotely. You can even create a custom list that is completely populated by information located outside of your SharePoint environment. The possibilities are endless. You can manage changes to the Lookup globally, without having to re-enter property values within the List Settings for each instance where the Lookup is used.
The Workplace Lookup v10 is designed to work with the v10 release of the CorasWorks Workplace Suite.
NOTE: All fields can have a default value set via the query string by passing in the name of the field and the value to set as the default. For example: ?FieldName=10
