Tutorial #6 - Adding Lookup Data

Movie Label contains a lot of predefined lookup data for media types, genres, languages etc. We are aware that this is not enough for everyone and that you will probably need to add your own lookup data.

Adding new Media Types, Genres, Countries, Certifications, etc
Start by choosing Media Type, Genre or some of the other lookup tables from the Data-page in the toolbar. A dialog will then be shown (that looks pretty much the same for all of the above) where you can add your own data.

When Media Types there are a few options you need to choose for each new media (if it is read only etc). Otherwise simply type the name of the of the new Genre (or whatever it is) and click the Add-button. Later when adding a new Entry to your database you will be able to choose from the lookup data you have added.

Note that you can add new lookup data when you view the properties of a movie too. Simply click the '...'-button next to the field.
