Example of cross-object value templates

If a value template references a value from another object, it can be accessed using the foreign key (FK) relation.

Figure 9: Effect of cross-object value templates

If, for example, the surname of an Active Directory user account (ADSAccount.Surname) is derived from the surname of an employee (Person.Lastname), enter the template for the ADSAccount.Surname column as follows:

Value = $FK(UID_Person),Person.Lastname$

If the employee’s surname changes, the last name of the Active Directory user changes, too. The Person.Lastname column is therefore the sender and the ADSAccount.Surname column is the receiver. The relation is mapped in the DialogNotification table as follows:

Person.Lastname --> ADSAccount.Surname

Limiting column length

You can use the column definition to control the length of the values to be entered. For example, the login name of an Active Directory user account is limited to a maximum of 20 characters. You can also use the column definition to define which columns are required.

To define the length of a column

  1. In the Designer, select the One Identity Manager Schema category.
  2. Select the table and start the Schema Editor with the Show table definition task.
  3. Select the column and then the Column properties view.

  4. Select the Value calculation tab and edit the following properties.

    • Max. length: Enter the maximum length of the column. If the value is equal to 0, the length is taken from the database schema.
    • Min. length: Enter the minimum length of the column. Columns with a minimum length of 1 or greater are flagged as required fields in the front-ends.

Defining decimal places for displaying values

In the user interface, you can define the number of decimal places for displaying values of columns with the .Net data types Double, Decimal, Int, Long or Short.

In columns with the .Net data types Int, Long or Short, the decimal point is shifted in the value display when the decimal places are specified. In columns with the .Net data types Double or Decimal, the value is displayed with the corresponding number of places after the decimal point. Take this behavior into account when calculating with different data types.

Examples
  • Prices with the .Net data type Int are given with cent after the decimal point. In the front-end a price of $3.50 is displayed as 3.50 and saved in the database as 350.
  • Quantities with the .Net data type double are, for example, specified with three places after the decimal point. In the front-end, a quantity of 100 pieces is displayed with the value 100,000, while the value 100 is saved in the database.

To define the number of decimal places

  1. In the Designer, select the One Identity Manager Schema category.
  2. Select the table and start the Schema Editor with the Show table definition task.
  3. Select the column and then the Column properties view.
  4. Select the Column tab and enter the number of decimal places to be used in the Number of decimal places input field.

Using predefined formatting types

You can specify column formats based on predefined formatting types. By combining formatting types with each other, you can obtain the formatting you required.

NOTE: If there is a column or column combination for a table that needs to be unique, define multi-column uniqueness in the Designer. For more information, see Defining unique columns for tables.

To specify formatting types

  1. In the Designer, select the One Identity Manager schema category.
  2. Select the table and start the Schema Editor with the Show table definition task.
  3. Select the column and then the Column properties view.
  4. Select the Value calculation tab and define the formatting types in the Column format input field.
    Table 27: Permitted formatting types
