To view or modify the properties of a Web Interface tab on a form
Open the form in the Form Editor. To do so, navigate to the Web Interface page that you want to configure, then click Customize.
Click the Edit icon next to the name of the tab.
(Optional) If needed, modify the properties of the tab, click Save, then click Reload.
NOTE: You can also modify the name of the tab with this procedure.
A tab on a Web Interface page can be either visible or hidden. If a tab is visible, the Web Interface user can click the tab to access the user interface elements (entries) located on that tab. If a tab is hidden, it is inaccessible to the Web Interface user.
Normally, if a Web Interface user has sufficient rights to view the page that holds a given tab, the tab is visible to that user. However, certain scenarios may require a particular tab to be hidden or displayed on a page depending on the properties of the object selected by the user to access that page. For example, you may need to hide the Membership Approval tab on the group’s General Properties page when the user selects a group whose properties meet certain conditions. Another requirement could be to hide or display a tab depending on whether the user is authorized to make certain changes to the selected object. For example, it may be required that the Membership Approval tab be hidden if the user does not have sufficient rights to change the members list of the group.
To address these requirements, the Web Interface provides a number of options that control the visibility of a tab to the user. The visibility options on a tab take the form of conditions that are evaluated when a particular user selects a particular object in the Web Interface to access a page containing that tab. The tab is displayed if each of the conditions evaluates to True.
By setting up the appropriate conditions on a tab, the administrator can control the visibility of the tab in the following ways:
Show the tab if the properties of the selected object meet certain requirements (for example, the description of the object is set to the text string specified); otherwise, hide the tab. The conditions that control the tab visibility in this way are referred to as property-related conditions.
Show the tab if the user is authorized to modify certain properties of the selected object (for example, the user is authorized to change the description of the object); otherwise, hide the tab. The conditions that control the tab visibility in this way are referred to as access-related conditions.
It is possible to set up only property-related conditions, only access-related conditions, or both. The tab is displayed if all the specified conditions evaluate to True. If at least one of the specified conditions is not met, the tab is hidden.
To configure the visibility options of a Web Interface tab
Open the form in the Form Editor. To do so, navigate to the Web Interface page that you want to configure, then click Customize.
In the Form Editor, click the Edit icon next to the name of the tab you want to configure.
Click Visibility on the page for managing the properties of the tab.
Select the option to set up visibility conditions.
To set up property-related conditions, click Configure.
Add or remove a visibility condition as follows:
To add a condition, select a property, type in a value, and click Add Requirement.
To remove a condition, select it from the list and click Remove.
When finished, click OK.
When you select a property and supply a value, either a new condition is added to the list or the supplied value is added to the existing condition that is based on the selected property. The latter occurs if the property is already in the list of the property-related conditions. This allows you to configure a condition that evaluates to True if the property has any one of the values specified. If only one value is supplied for a particular condition, then the condition evaluates to True if the property has exactly the value specified.
Add or remove access-related conditions as follows:
If you want to add a condition, click Add, select a certain property, and click OK.
If you want to remove a condition, select it from the list and click Remove.
When you select a property and click OK, a new condition is added that evaluates to True if the user has sufficient rights in Active Roles to make changes to that property of the object selected by the user in the Web Interface.
Click Save.

You can add new or existing entries to a Web Interface form with the Form Editor, available in the Customization menu.
To create a new entry and add it to a form
Open the form in the Form Editor. To do so, navigate to the Web Interface page that you want to configure, then click Customize.
Click the tab to which you want to add the entry.
On the toolbar in the Form Editor, point to Add Entry and click Create.
In the Property list, click the attribute for which to add the entry, then click Next.
Specify a name for the new entry, then click Finish.
Click Reload to publish your changes.
NOTE: The name of an entry is the text that labels the control or group of controls on the respective Web Interface page. For example, if an entry appears as a check box on the page, the name of the entry is displayed next to the check box. If an entry appears as an edit box, the name of the entry is directly above the edit box.
A form can hold only one entry per attribute.
To add existing entries to a form
Open the form in the Form Editor. To do so, navigate to the Web Interface page that you want to configure, then click Customize.
Click the tab to which you want to add the entry.
On the toolbar in the Form Editor, point to Add Entry and click Select.
In the list of entries, select check boxes next to the names of the entries to add.
Click Finish. Then, click Reload to publish your changes.
You may need to scroll down the list of entries in order to access the Finish button.
The list for selecting an entry contains the following information about each entry:
Entry name: The name of the entry.
Managed property: The attribute or attributes that are managed by using this entry. The attributes are identified by LDAP display name.
Forms that use this entry: The entry is added to each of the listed forms. The forms are identified by name. Clicking the name of a form opens the form in the Form Editor.
Entry type: This can be one of the following:
Auto: An entry that was created by using the Form Editor.
Custom: A predefined entry that came with the Web Interface, or an entry that was created by using tools other than the Form Editor (for example, by implementing and deploying custom code).
Naming: An entry for managing a naming attribute, such as the name attribute. Setting a naming attribute requires some additional steps, which are not necessary with other attributes. The entries of this type are normally predefined and installed with the Web Interface.
When selecting an existing entry, consider the type of the entry. Entries of different type can have the same name and the same managed property. Since the behavior of an entry depends upon the type of the entry, selecting an entry of inappropriate type can cause incorrect results. Thus, selecting an Auto entry instead of a Custom entry will normally result in the loss of the features that the Custom entry provides in addition to, or instead of, the default features of the Auto entry.
