# Set up configurable lookup - Web service

You can use a web service to define the possible options of a configurable lookup. To do so, set up a configurable lookup of type '**Web service**'.

### Steps

1. Go to **Data quality studio > Setup > Configurable** lookups.
2. Click **New**.
3. In the **Configurable lookup ID** field, type a value.
4. In the **Description** field, type a value.
5. In the **Configurable lookup type** field, select '**Web service**'.
6. Click **Save**.
7. Define the web service and related settings for the configurable lookup.

Expand the **Web services** section.
8. In the **Web service** field, enter or select a value.
9. Define the web service response parameter which values can be used as input in the field to which the configurable lookup is applied.

If you open the lookup for the field to which this configurable lookup is applied, in the grid, the values of this response parameter are shown in the **Value** column.

In the **WebService lookup value field** field, enter or select a value.
10. Define the web service response parameter which values are used as the description of the values of the parameter that you defined in the **Web service lookup value** field.

If you open the lookup for the field to which this configurable lookup is applied, in the grid, the values of this response parameter are shown in the **Description** column.

In the **WebService** lookup value description field field, enter or select a value.
11. Define the minimum number of characters that must be entered in the field to which the configurable lookup is applied. The web service is called only if at least the minimum number of characters is entered.

You can use this to limit the number of times the web service is called.

In the **Minimum input length** field, enter a number.
12. Close the page.
