This article describes how Rover File Dictionaries work with Rover Web

Field ​

The field object controls the UI and controls of an Input in Rover Web.

Lookups ​

Lookups can be used on an individual field if the reference_file property is defined and a corresponding FDICT with lookups exists. If all conditions are met a "Search" icon will appear to the right of the input.

json
{
    "field_no": "0",
    "conv": "MCU",
    "dict_name": "REP.ID",
    "desc_items": [
        {
            "desc": "Rep.Id"
        }
    ],
    "just": "R",
    "len": "6",
    "reference_file": "REP"
}

The FDICT file will need at least one lookup_name_items to be defined. If multiple lookups are available then a dropdown will be presented to allow a user to select from one. lu_enabled is set to "Y" is required.
