# Adding a lookup table

**Cintra iQ** allows you to enter multiple values in **Lookup Tables.** A **Lookup Table** can be used for most lists where a user selects from a drop down within the application, such as a **Job** or **Post** category. These values appear as the pre-defined list items within the drop downs.

## To add a lookup table

1. **Go to Cintra iQ:** Definitions > Lookups. The **Lookup Administration** window appears.
