Lookups

About lookups

In the Tuum system, the lookups hold lists of enum values with their language-based explanations (translations). You can use them as default values present in the Tuum system or modify them to fit your custom needs.

For example, the list of valid customer documents is ID card, passport, and driver’s licence. Whenever a new customer document is entered, the Tuum system validates the entry against this list. You can remove some of the items like ID card from the list and amend the list with a new item like living permit, to make the list more relevant for your use case. After these changes, all the subsequent entries are validated against the updated list. Additionally, if you use that list in your graphical user interfaces for selection options in drop-downs, the updated list will be displayed there.

• Entity - Reference to the object of a group that the lookup is related to. For example, LOAN.APPLICATION - refers to the application object in the loan module.

• Lookup type code - The code for the lookup type itself. It describes a property of the entity. For example, a lookup type code called STATUS in the entity LOAN.APPLICATION and the lookup group LOAN.

• Lookup code - Values for the lookup type code. For example, lookup codes with values CREATED and PROCESSED for the STATUS lookup type code.
