The table entries to be displayed are found through a selection script and an object definition condition.
-
Formulate a selection script as a VB.Net expression which returns either True or False, depending on whether or not the transferred data record belongs to this object definition.
-
Formulate a condition as a WHERE clause database query so that an object definition can also be used for display in result lists.
IMPORTANT: You must compile the database for the selection criteria to come into effect.
Example displaying employees flagged with the “Dummy employee” property
Selection script to determine at runtime whether this data record concerns a dummy employee:
Value = $IsDummyPerson:Bool$
Condition (WHERE clause) to select all “dummy employees”:
IsDummyPerson=1

You can define the following captions to represent each object definition in the administration tool user interface.
-
List caption
The list caption is used in One Identity Manager tools as the title for result lists. The display text of the object definition that you specified through the selected menu item, is used as the list title.
-
Form caption
The form caption is used to display the current object definition, for example, in the Manager's status bar.
The current object definition is determined when an item in the administration tool result list is selected. Valid object definitions and thereby the possible captions are determined by selection scripts. From the possible display texts, the caption of the object definition with the lowest sort order is shown.
Example
Table 32: Captions depending on the sort order of the object definitions
|
Employee general |
None |
10 |
Employees |
|
Employee dummy |
Employees labeled as dummy. |
1 |
Dummy employee |
When you select an employee in the result list, the related caption is Employees. If the employee is labeled as a dummy employee, this object is assigned to another object definition by means of the VB.Net expression and the Dummy employees caption is used.
