Colleague Lookup Resolution

EDIT: I have found that the "+Add" button can only be enabled if the lookup resolution is created in Colleague Studio. To get this to work, I created two lookup resolutions in two places, both with the same name and content (fields). One is created in Colleague studio, one is created in UICD. The names of these two need to be the same. Plug this on the form and it works (for me at least).

I found out today that creating LookUp Resolution in Colleague Studio sometimes doesn't work. When a lookup resolution is defined on the Resolution table field on LookUp Specifications Parameters screen of the file ID field, the default resolution table, which contains only Key and Description fields, is used instead.

To create and use a newly customized lookup resolution table, we have to do it in UICD, and then add the table name in Colleague Studio. First, go to UICD and create a new Context:


After adding the new context, detail into Search Results to define the lookup resolution:

Save out and go to Colleague Studio, enter the name of the resolution table into the Resolution table field.
Do not use the add button, since the new table won't be populated in there. Just enter the name of the table you created.
Save, regenerate the screen and you're done. Log out and log back in to see the new resolution table.
