The navigation structure of the user interface is hierarchical and allows users to drill down to the selection of an object definition. The top level of the hierarchy is used to classify the data managed by One Identity Manager into specified categories. Categories include a range of different menu items. Select a category on the category tab. You can configure additional settings in the configuration menu.

TIP: If menu items are linked to preprocessor-relevant configuration parameters, you can display the preprocessor conditions behind the menu items. To do this, enable the program setting Show additional navigation information.
Specific mouse commands are available:
-
You can open or close a menu item by double-clicking on the entry name.
-
Click the name of the menu item to show the found objects in the result list, as long as a corresponding object for that object type is found. If there are no objects for a defined menu item, an empty result list is shown.

The object is loaded and the first available form appears in the document view. If there are no objects for the selected menu entry, the document view continues to show the most recently selected form.
A list title is shown in the title bar of the result list. This depends on which menu item in the navigation structure was used to select the object. This list title also contains the number of elements in a list.

In the result list, an object is marked with the symbol that was set when the interface was configured. If an object is deleted by the One Identity Manager Service, the object is initially marked for deletion. It is permanently deleted only after a set time period.
