+Lookups are used retrieve a values available for the user from an existing data view. When a lookup list is used, the user can only select from these values, so consistency of input data is ensured. A field with a lookup list displays a “filter” indicator at the right end of the field.
-See **//[[versago:form_configuration#dynamic_drop-down_lists|Dynamic Drop-down Lists]]//** for information on configuring and using Dynamic List lookup reports.
+=== Configure the Lookup ===
+  - On the “Control Settings” tab, select “Textbox” as the Control Type.
+  - Select the data view to be used from the Lookup Report menu
+  - The [ **…**] ellipsis button to the right of the Lookup  menu is used to define Filters (i.e. form controls values that can be used as input filters to the lookup report) and Mappings (i.e. form controls that will receive their input value from fields in the user-selected record in the lookup report).
+    - At least one Output field must be configured. This will be the control where the lookup is being applied and should be the value to be displayed to the user.
+    - Additional output fields may also be defined. These are typically other values associated with the lookup value.
+  - The list of values in the lookup will be sorted according to the sorting configured in the look up data view.
-====Image Control====
-The Image control is used to display an image in the form presentation.  Images are most commonly used in a grid (form details) control to display things like items in an order form.  However, there is no restriction against using an image control in the main (header) section of the form as well.  An example might be displaying the item associated with a Service Call, or displaying the logo of a company in an order entry form.

 The data type of the underlying database field is //Text//.  This is because the data is actually a file path pointer to the location of the image file, which is stored on disk.  The file path information is saved as part of the form data.  The image can then be displayed in a report associated with the form.
 The //Format// drop-down selection defines the size of the image in the form.  Two options are available: 45 x 45 pixels and 65 x 65 pixels.  A large image is displayed when the user hovers over the image on the form, and an even large image is displayed as a pop-out when the user clicks on the image.
