| Property | Meaning |
|---|---|
|
Form name |
The form name is used to quickly select interface forms, for example, in the Designer. TIP: The form name is displayed in the administration tool as extra navigation information. |
|
Form definition |
Form definition linked to the user interface form. NOTE: Use |
|
Caption |
Caption shown on the user interface form. The caption is used to represent the user interface form in the task view and in the form context menu of the user interface. Translate the given text using the |
|
Online help link |
The form's help key for navigating to the relevant chapter in the online help. |
|
Description |
Detailed description of the user interface form. TIP: The description is shown as a tooltip in the task view. |
|
Icon |
Icon marks the user interface form in the user interface. |
|
Sort order |
The sort order determines the position of the interface form in the task view and in the form’s context menu in the administration tools. NOTE: When you enter objects in the Manager, the user interface form of the Edit form type is always displayed with the lowest sort order. |
|
Preprocessor condition |
User interface forms can be given a preprocessor condition. This means that an interface form is only available when the preprocessor condition is fulfilled. NOTE: In the Designer, you can find an overview of existing preprocessor dependencies in the One Identity Manager Schema > Preprocessor dependencies category. |
|
Control deactivation |
Specifies which buttons in the toolbar are to be disabled in the front-ends Permitted values are:
|
|
Deactivated |
Use this option to label interface forms that should not be shown in the user interface. NOTE: This change is also permitted for user interface forms in the default user interface and is not overwritten on schema installation. |
|
Disabled by preprocessor |
If an object definition is excluded through a preprocessor condition, this option is set by the Database Compiler. |
|
Show modal |
Specifies whether the form is displayed in a separate dialog. Used by wizards for entering data. |
|
Open on new tab |
The form is opened on a new tab. |
|
Configuration |
The configuration is used to limit the tables and columns on display. Templates for the configuration data definition are found in the pop-up list XML templates. In the Properties section, you can transfer special properties of the form that were implemented during form development. For example, the report name and special report parameters can be passed to the report interface form by using this section. |
|
Insert values |
Insert values are only of relevance to interface forms of the Edit form type. With them you can specify the default values for the columns that are assigned when a new object is added. The input is in VB.Net syntax. |

Form definitions and form templates make up the basis of interface form design. Form definitions contain information about the data that will appear on the forms such as, tables, and columns as well as titles for form tabs and root nodes in hierarchically ordered elements (ChildRelationControl, membership tree) for the form templates defined in the form archives.

Alternative form template |
It might be necessary to use different form templates of display the interface form, for example, to show an the One Identity Manager web interface or in an administration tool. The form templates can be linked in order to avoid adding a form definition and an interface form for each form template. For this, you need to assign an alternative form template to the form template. This alternative form template is used when the conditions for displaying the original template are not fulfilled. The form template referenced is determined in order to display the interface form. The form template given in the form definition is checked for existence in the form archive and to see if it labeled for the correct display purposes. If these conditions are not fulfilled then the alternative form template is tested for suitability. The form template that fulfills the conditions is used for the user interface display. |

Base form for form sequence |
By entering a form definition as a base for a sequence of forms, you can create a group of form definitions for one object definition. All form sequence form definitions contain the same base form. The definition of the interface form can only be made for this base form. When the interface form is loaded in the display, the referenced form definitions for all other form definitions in the form sequence are also loaded. You can navigate arbitrarily within the form sequence without leaving the scope of the interface form. |

Required tables |
A form definition can be assigned additional tables that are used to display data. NOTE: If one of the given tables is disabled by a preprocessor condition then the form definition is also considered to be disabled and the corresponding interface form is not shown in the user interface. |
