This case is somewhat similar to that of externalizing internal lookup tables, except while you create a lookup table file that is outside the graph in the same way as that of an externalized file, the file is not linked to the original graph. Only an external lookup table file (maybe also metadata and/or connection) is created. Subsequently you can use such a file in other graphs as an external (shared) lookup table file as mentioned in the previous sections.

You can export internal lookup table into external (shared) one by right-clicking some of the internal lookup tables items in the Outline pane and clicking Export lookup table from the context menu. The lookup folder of the corresponding project will be offered for the newly created external file. You can also give the file any other name than the suggested and you create the file by clicking Finish.

After that, the Outline pane lookups folder remains the same, but in the lookup folder in the Navigator pane the newly created lookup table file appears.

You can export multiple selected internal lookup tables in a similar way as it is described in the previous section about externalizing.
