# Set up configurable lookup

You can set up a configurable lookup to define the possible options in a field.

You can define the possible options for a configurable lookup in these ways:

- **User defined list**: Set up the desired options manually.
- **Dynamic query**: Apply a dynamic query to define the desired options.
- **Web service**: Use a web service to get the desired options.

To apply a configurable lookup, set up a validation rule of type **Configurable lookup**. You can use a configurable lookup on several validation rules.

This topic explains how to set up a configurable lookup.
