# Create a Lookup Table
Go to **Content** > **Lookup Tables** and click on **Create a lookup table**.
* Enter a display name
* Enter a slug with no spaces
The Slug is used to reference this table and may only contain alphanumeric characters. Note that this slug is used in referencing the email template
* Click on **Save**
### Creating an item in a table
Click on the table you've created
From the context menu that pops up, select "**View**"
Each item in a table is essentially a JSON document. This means you can build up a tree-structure of keys and values, where the values can be text, numbers, booleans, arrays or objects themselves. You can either enter a JSON document directly, using JSON syntax or you can use a UI editor to construct the JSON document.
#### JSON Editor
* Once you have saved, you will see a JSON editor. You can select either the Text or UI editor based on your preference.
* Update the lookup table using a JSON structure.
#### Adding an item
To add an item in a JSON for organization, click on +Add Item on the left pane.
* Type a name on the top
* Click on Add Item button
* Once created, you can see the item created on the left pane.
#### Write the JSON
Use the JSON format to define any object structure and key-value pairs below:
For example, a JSON which gives countryname and local currency based on country abbreviation
```
{
"NL": {
"countryname": "Netherlands",
"local_currency": "EUR"
},
"US": {
"countryname": "United States",
"local_currency": "USD"
}
}
```
You can also use the UI editor to define the JSON structure.
