Create Custom Lookup Tables for a Registration

This article provides steps to create custom lookup tables.

Mission Suite has a number of standard lookup tables to try to capture attributes about a person, including lookups for strengths, interests, spiritual gifts, and others. Additionally, you can create up to 5 lookup tables custom to your needs. You have complete control over the values of the lookup tables. You can add, change and delete the values as needed. 

A Lookup can be added to any registration form for the registrant to answer when registering for an event. The custom lookup can become a part of each parishioners' faith journey giving you additional insight on how you can help them in their walk.

1. Click on the Settings icon.

A Lookup can be added to any registration form for the registrant to answer when registering for an event, such as Alpha, or registering for a small group. Other lookup possibilities could be favorite activities, hobbies, or mentors. 

In addition to the custom lookup feature, which can become a part of each parishioners' faith journey, you can also use the custom questions feature on the registration form. Click here for more information about customizing a participant registration form.
