Create a New Lookup Item
To create a new item, enter the Lookup Manager and then select the group in which you wish to create the item. After selecting this item, choose [New item] from the [Manage Lookup] menu. On selection, a new item is created in the database with descriptive text constructed of 'Newitem' followed by the date and time that you created it.
Note that at this point, the new item is fully created in the database and is 'active' even though it has not yet been tailored for use.
Select the new item in the list on the left hand side of the dialog in order to display the current details that are stored for the new item. At the very least, immediately change the descriptive text of the item to that required. Change other details to match the nature of the item required. To save the new details, click [Update].
Note that if you are creating a new item which is within a sub-group, the descriptive text displayed in the left-hand list is constructed of the parent-group following by two colons and then the text of the item (e.g. 'Tanks:: Chieftan'), however only the text of the item is stored in the item record - the change to the longer title is for display purposes only and for easy reference.
