Metadata Lookups
Lookups are pop-up menus with lists of values that a user uses to enter a metadata

 A list of categories
 A list of productions
 A list of priorities
The values depend on the data type and can include text, dates, numbers, or timecode
values. The following chart shows a few examples:
Many standard metadata lookups are included with Final Cut Server. Additional
lookups can be defined using the Lookup pane.
