Lookups

Administrator feature

Lookups are an administrator feature. Some users don't have access to Lookups.

You can use lookups to get and store additional information from external sources. The additional information enhances your data and adds relevant context. This makes your data more valuable because you can analyze the data more deeply. For example, you can store user names, active users, active VPNs, and suspicious IP addresses.

Tip

You can read more about Lookups here in the Reference guide.
