| + | The **Lookup Manager** displays all of the items that can be edited in a list on the left hand side of the dialog, in the same way as all other managers. However, because there are a large number of possible categories of data (an overview of what the categories do can be found in the [[PergamonMystic:linkedhelp:lookup_overview|Lookup Manager: Overview of the data categories]] article), you first need to select //which// category of data items you want to see. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can do this by selecting the **Category** from the drop-down above the list. If there are a large number of items, you can also enter a filtering word or phrase which will reduce the number if items displayed. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you do not see a particular category in the **Lookup Manager** that you wish to edit, it may simply be that the display of its category group is turned //off// - this is done to reduce the number of categories displayed in the drop-down list box at any one time to reduce confusion from the large numbers. In order to make it visible, select the **[Options]** toolbar tab and toggle on the toolbar icons in the **[Reader Categories]**, **[Item Categories]** or **[System]** toolbar groups as required. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Once a list of items is displayed, scroll to the entry that you need and select it - the details of the item are displayed in the fields on the right hand side of the dialog. | ||

| + | The basic use of the **Lookup Manager** is identical to other managers: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * If there are a large number of items to display, the **Lookup Manager** will page the list - use th **[Back]** and **[Forward]** toolbar icons to move through the pages of items found. | ||
| + | * To **edit** an item select it from the left hand list to display its details in the right hand side of the dialog. | ||
| + | * To **save** any changes to the item, click the **[Update]** toolbar icon or the **[Update]** button in the details area. | ||
| + | * To **create** a new item, ensure that you have selected the correct category where you want the item to be then click the **[Create]** toolbar icon. A new dummy entry is placed into the left hand list - select it and edit it as normal. | ||
| + | * To **remove** an existing item, select it from the left hand list to display its details then click the **[Remove]** toolbar icon to request its removal. | ||
