Lookup Columns Bundle 3.0
undle of 3 products in one pack, complimenting and enhancing the default SharePoint lookup column function. These three enhancements offer a bundle of features that effectively enhancing your SharePoint lookup functionality. Cross-site Lookup gets an information from another site within site collection, while Cascaded Lookup builds more relationships between parent and child columns. And finally, Parent Selector summarizes information related to an item in a list to display hierarchical data.
Cascaded Column
Cascaded Lookup Column enhances standard SharePoint lookup functionality. Component allows building relationship between parent and child columns, the data selected in one field will determine the options presented in another. You can build as many cascading levels as you need by looking up for data from SharePoint lists in all sites within site collection. If you're using a series of parent-child Cascaded Lookups, each subsequent field will immediately update as you add or remove each selection from the prior one.
Cross-Site Column
Default SharePoint Lookup supports only lookup within the same site, so if you need to lookup data from another site, you cannot use it. ArtfulBits Cross-Site Lookup allows users to refer to a list from any site in site collection and across site-collections, applying list view filtering to retrieved data. If list contains large amounts of data, it is not very efficient to search for some data using standard SharePoint lookup. ArtfulBits Cross-Site Lookup with Picker Dialog helps to resolve this issue. You can search/filter data in picker dialog, which helps to find the required item quickly.
Parent Selector Column
If you have hierarchical data in a list and you need to lookup data in own list (containing list), using ArtfulBits Parent Selector column is the best choice. Parent Selector Column is intended to lookup to self (containing list) in order to display hierarchical data.
