Look-up values in deep link filtering
A look-up value is a field value that is used to find a record in the Planon database. This usually happen via the record's code.
In reference fields, like the Property field for example, the look-up value is the property code. If you type this code in the field, the record is looked up and retrieved from the database. In a Planon Accelerator database, typing 14 in an empty Property field, will retrieve the record 14, Columbus Square.
When configuring deep link filtering for deep link lists, you can use look-up values to direct users to specific records in Planon. In most cases, the look-up values you must specify are the codes. There are a few exceptions however: records of more complex business objects may have the Code group field value as their look-up value, for example Departments, Asset groups or Order groups. See Creating deep link lists (unencrypted URLs) for more information on the actual deep link list configuration.
 | Codes are not necessarily unique as look-up values. For example: in the database, multiple spaces can have code 2.21, referring to different rooms in different buildings. In that case, a deep link including that space code will direct users to a list of all spaces with code 2.21, from which they can select. |
