Lookup Lists

Marlin Tyre and Mechanical Workshop Software uses editable lookup lists to manage certain variables within the Marlin system.

Lookup lists determine the options available when indicating the Work Done and Follow-Up Reasons on a customer follow-up, or when selecting Defect Reasons on a warranty claim or Credit Note Reasons on a customer or supplier credit note.

Lookup lists can be viewed and edited by selecting System > Text Lists > Lookup Lists from the menu bar.

The Lookup lists module will open on the Search window, showing a list of look up lists within the Marlin system.

Editing Lookup Lists

System > Text Lists > Lookup Lists

Each lookup list can be edited by selecting it in the Lookup Lists Search list and clicking on the Edit button to the top-right of the module window.

The lookup list window will open on the Details tab, showing a list of options contained within the lookup list.

The Name of the selected lookup list is shown in the General section at the top and cannot be edited.

The options available for the lookup list are show in the Lookup Lists list at the bottom.
