Lookup Tables

Users can specify lookup tables that can be used in rules, custom attributes, and metrics. Lookup tables are simple key/label pairs and are displayed as drop-down controls.

Distribution Points and Lookup Tables

The concept of Distribution Points has changed in iWD 8.0. They are no longer required, but to keep reporting functionality intact they remain as configuration objects in iWD (as opposed to the Services that they were in earlier releases).

Distribution points should be configured as Lookup Tables at the Tenant level. The following steps describe how to configure Distribution Points as Lookup Tables.

  1. In iWD Manager, configure a new Lookup Table for your tenant.

  2. In the Rule Template, add the newly created Lookup Table (Distribution Point) as a parameter.

  3. Add an Action.

  4. Add a new Module to the Tenant.

  5. Assign the new Module to the Solution.

  6. Once the Module is assigned, the Distribution Point can be assigned in Classification Rules.

It is possible to configure separate sets of Distribution Points for each Solution. On the Tenant level, several Lookup Tables should be created, each with its own set of Distribution Points. Several Rule Templates should be created. Each has to use its own Lookup Table. On the Tenant level, several Modules should be created and corresponding Rule Templates should be assigned. On the Solution level, corresponding Modules should be assigned to the particular Solution. Each Solution will “see” its own set of Distribution Points during Rules creation.
