Lookup table alias

This article provides an overview of lookup table aliases and provides a guide on how to create, edit, and delete an alias.

What is a lookup table alias?

A lookup table alias includes a custom token (either entered manually or system generated) that is used by the API as an identifier.

This can be useful in cases when you want to test various lookup tables before selecting one for production.

Once you finalize the lookup table required, you can edit the lookup table alias to use the required lookup table. The custom token remains unchanged, and the solution using the API does not need to be updated.

To view your lookup table aliases, click More > Aliases.

On this page, you will find a list of:

• Attached Aliases: The aliases that are linked to lookup tables.

• Unattached Aliases: The aliases that are not linked to lookup tables.
