staticLookup
A Workflow Engine function that searches for a key in a static lookup table, retrieves the corresponding value, and applies that value to a field in the object. lookupName references a .lookup file in JSON format in the following folder: $MOOGSOFT_HOME/config/lookups/.
For example, Locations refers to $MOOGSOFT_HOME/config/lookups/Locations.lookup. On first use, the lookup loads into constants. You do not need to edit the Workflow Engine Moobot to load. The default lifespan for the lookup is 3600 seconds, after which the Workflow Engine reloads the file.
This function is available for event, alert, and Situation workflows.
