Lookup Lists

Overview

Use Lookup Lists to enhance data management within your pipelines. This acts as a library allowing users to create and manage lists of values that can be reused across different steps in a pipeline.

Why use Lookup Lists?

The Lookup Lists Library is particularly useful in scenarios where certain values need to be consistently applied across multiple stages of data processing. For example, if an organization frequently uses specific environments for services, these can be stored as lookup lists for quick access.

By registering a new list, users can assign it a specific name, making it easier to reference and utilize throughout their workflows. Users can create new lists by entering a set of values that they wish to group together.

Note: When creating a lookup list, users are encouraged to choose descriptive names that reflect the purpose of the list.

Create Lookup List

To create a Lookup List:

  1. Login to Opsera.

  2. From the left navigation bar, select Tool Registry.

  3. Click Lookup Lists on the top bar.

  4. Click + New Lookup List.

  5. Give a display name and value for the list and click + Add Option. Continue to add, as much lookup list as required. Users can also utilize this field to add multiple parameter values simultaneously. The multiline text input also allows for the entry of values, either by typing each value on a separate line or pasting them directly from an external source.

  6. Under Access Controls, Access Roles based on whom should have access to this lookup list.

  7. Click Create.

Once a lookup list has been created, it can be referenced easily in various parameter configuration of the pipeline steps, by adding this to your Pipeline level parameter. Instead of hardcoding values directly into each step, users can call upon their predefined lists.

Modify Lookup Lists

Users have the capability to update or delete existing lookup lists as needed. If new values need to be added or if certain entries become obsolete, modifications can be made.

To modify a lookup list:

  1. Click on a lookup list.

  2. Add a new lookup value and click +Add Option. To delete a particular lookup value click the "x" icon next to the lookup value.

  3. Click Save.

To delete the entire lookup list, scroll down and click Delete lookup List.
