The Lookup functionality in Rubiscape allows you to connect two data sources and compare them based on certain conditions.
Lookup checks all the values in the given data sources and matches the records from one data source to another for the selected fields.
Lookup is not a stand-alone activity; it is to be connected to a predecessor. The predecessor can be a dataset or output obtained from any data pre-processing node. In the Lookup properties, you can specify the dataset to which you want to compare the values of the predecessor of Lookup.
