A lookup table is defined by an entry in the LookupTable table. Each row in this table defines a lookup table. The rows of each one of these lookup tables are stored in one of the value tables. The LookupTable has the following properties:
uniqueName
Primary key. A string that is used to refer to the table. Contrary to the property name, it does not have to be unique. It is the combination of uniqueName, validAfter, and simulationSet that uniquely identifies a lookup table.
validAfter
Primary key. Specifies a date after which this lookup table can be used. When multiple lookup tables share the same name, the lookup table with the most recent validAfter date will be used.
simulationSet
Primary key. A nullable string that forms
type & valueType
These properties do not have meaning on their own, but the combination determines which value table will be used. When the type is SIMPLE, the valueType determines the type of value. When the type is RANGE, the valueType determines the type of the key.
status
Value of the TimedObjectStatus enumeration. Determines
...
whether – or in what
...
context – the lookup table will be used.
label
The text that will be displayed to the end
...
user – to represent the lookup table.
formatType
Only relevant for simple lookup tables. Specifies how the value in the key-value-pair will be formatted in the frontend application.
Value Tables
The value tables store the actual rows of the lookup table. It is the combination of LookupTable.type and LookupTable.valueType that determines which value type table will be used. The table below contain these details.

MatrixLookupTableValue
When an instance of LookupTable has the following combination of type and valueType, the lookup table’s rows will be stored in the MatrixLookupTableValue table.
LookupTable.type – MATRIX
LookupTable.valueType – MATRIX
Value Table – MatrixLookupTableValue
The MatrixLookupTableValue has the following properties:
lookupTable.id – A reference to the LookupTable row to which this row belongs. This property can be used in queries, but will not be part of the results.
name – Primary key(s), whose combination uniquely identifies a single lookup table row.
attribute1..30 – Fields that can be customized with attribute metadata.

LookupTableValue
The LookupTableValue table is used for two different types of lookup tables:
If the
LookupTable.typeisSIMPLE,SIMPLE_REAL_KEY,SIMPLE_INT_KEY, orSIMPLE_DATE_KEY, then theLookupTableValuetable is used to store key-value pairs. In this case, theLookupTable.valueTypedefines the type of the value in the key-value pair. The key is determined byLookupTable.type, while the value is determined by theLookupTable.valueType.If the
LookupTable.typeisRANGE, then theLookupTableValuetable is used to store key-value pairs, where the value is a pair of integers. This pair denotes a range. In this case, theLookupTable.valueTypedefines the type of the key in the key-value pair.

When an instance of LookupTable has the following combination of type and valueType, the lookup table’s rows will be stored in the LookupTableValue table.
LookupTable.type – SIMPLE | SIMPLE_REAL_KEY | SIMPLE_INT_KEY | SIMPLE_DATE_KEY | RANGE
LookupTable.valueType – REAL | INT | STRING | DATE
Value Table – LookupTableValue
The LookupTableValue has the following properties:
lookupTable.id – A reference to the LookupTable row to which this row belongs. This property can be used in queries, but will not be part of the results.
name – A primary key that can be used to uniquely identify a row. If LookupTable.type is RANGE, the LookupTable.valueType determines the type of name. Otherwise, the type of name is determined by LookupTable.type.
value – If and only if the LookupTable.type is not RANGE, this property is used to store a value. The type of the value is determined by LookupTable.valueType.
lowerBound – If and only if the type is RANGE, this property is used to store an integer that denotes the minimum value.
upperBound – If and only if the type is RANGE, this property is used to store an integer that denotes the maximum value.
