new lookup column in dynamics crm online

Question

how can i create a new lookup column and add it to my opportunity entity in CRM? What i want to do is create a new field called Business Sector on the Opportunities Form which should contain lookup options eg Public Sector, FSI, Education , Telco, SME, Manufacturing etc.

Any ideas on how to do this are welcome. Thanks

Create an entity called Sector. Then, from the Sector entity, create a 1:N relationship with Opportunity. Save. Then open up the Opportunity entity; a lookup attribute should have been automatically created for you. You can now open the Opportunity main form and add the lookup to it. Save. Publish.
