View And Edit Lookup Property Values

Some of the Meridian Portal built-in properties support lists of standard values from which users can select. By default, these values comply with Process Industry Practices. You can view these properties and edit them to meet your specific requirements.

The properties are one of the following property types:

  • Lookup — A simple list of values for the property.

  • Hierarchical Lookup — An interdependent (also called cascading) lists of values for multiple properties, for example, the Facility Information property set. Not supported by custom lookup properties.

    For hierarchical lookups, you can click the tabs at the top of the window to modify different levels of the hierarchy.

To perform the tasks described on this page, you must be assigned to the Tenant Administrator role.
