Heads up! This is a guide for admins. If you're not an admin yet, ask your Beacon admin to promote you so you can start managing fields.

The Lookup list of fields is a useful card in Beacon for surfacing data that relates to the record you're looking at. Unlike the list of related records (which lists records that point at this record), this card lets you surface fields from records that are pointed at by this record.

You can add a new lookup list of fields card at the bottom of your existing cards. This way, it displays in line with the main information for that record.

This is fairly self explanatory. Feel free to pick the title and icon that you feel is most intuitive.

The field on the record type that points at other record types. For example, the Payer field on payments, or the Person field on event attendees.

For each record type that the related field above can point at, you'll see a drop-down list, where you can choose the fields that you'd like to surface in this card.

If a field includes multiple options in the related field, then you'll see some tabs appear - making it easy to see information from each of the related records.

No. To edit pointed at records (e.g. the payer of the payment), you'll need to click through to the payer and edit them there.
