How it works

A lookup field pulls information from a linked record. When the source data changes, the lookup field updates automatically to stay in sync. In order to add a lookup field, you must first add a link to table field. Check out this quick guide. For example, you might have a table for tracking staff bonuses that links to a staff information table. To automatically display each employee’s department, you can use a lookup field instead of entering it manually.

Common use cases

  • Company Directory: Display an employee’s department or email from a related record
  • Project Management: Show project budget or priority level on related tasks or milestones
  • Customer Support: Display customer tier or account status on support tickets
  • Sales CRM: Pull in company size or industry details on leads and contacts
  • Education: Show course details like credits or instructor on student enrollment records
