Lookup Tables are designed to store data to be used in calculating System Attributes. This first version of Lookup Tables was designed to interface with Job Data Packages (JDP) to help calculate job data that may vary by location and any other attribute defined on the job. These tables can also be used in Integrations as a more complex version of Mapped Values, allowing for multiple inputs to lead to a single output.
