User interface navigation

One Identity Manager administration tools with their own user interface are given their own navigation view. The navigation defines specific entry points into the One Identity Manager tool's user interface and controls the user oriented navigation down to the selection of an object in the result list. You can set up the structure of the user interface navigation through a menu. There are different types of menu items with specific uses. You can design a multifaceted navigation by combining different types of menu items.

In the Designer, the navigation is displayed in the User interface | User interface navigation category. The type of menu item determines the availability and editability of the properties.

Navigation elements

Table 34: Types of menu items
Type Description

Menu category

Menu categories are displayed at the navigation top level and provide a method of grouping the data to be managed from different viewpoints. Menu categories constitute entry points into the interface navigation view. Menu categories are displayed as categories in the user interface.

Fixed menu item

Fixed menu items are used to organize data more clearly within menu categories. These menu items are always shown in the navigation view. List properties can only be defined for fixed menu items. These specify how the table entries are displayed in the user interface result list.

Data-Dependent Menu Item

Data-dependent menu items are generated by a database query that returns several data sets as output. These menu items are therefore not individual menu items, but a set of menu items depending on the output of the database query. List properties can be defined for data-dependent menu items. These specify how the table entries are displayed in the user interface result list.

Detached Menu Item

Detached menu items are used to group other menu items or to define a main menu item for an application. For example, you can specify a web interface home page with a detached menu item. Detached menu items should always be created at the navigation top level. However, they do not appear in the administration tools navigation view.

Link

Links support the navigation configuration. They are used to reference frequently accessed menu items. Parts of the navigation interface that require an application several times, only need to be set up once. The referenced menu items are always shown in navigation interface as opposed to the links.

Main Form Element

Main form elements are not menu items in the navigation view, but are used as the main elements in object overview forms. All child menu items are assigned to the main element.

Task category

Task categories are displayed at the navigation top level and are used to group together action-based processes. Task categories are not mapped in the navigation view but on a special form in the administration tools.

Task

Tasks are used to map single tasks within a task category. They are used, for example, as starting points for administration tool wizards. Tasks are always listed under a task category menu item. Task categories and their tasks are not displayed in the navigation view but on a special form.

Statistics

This menu item is used to display statistics. Statistics are typically displayed in the info system. All statistics that are defined in one menu level can be displayed on one form or as individual menu items. Statistics can also be included as form elements.

Recommendations for editing menu navigation

  • For fixed and database-dependent menu items you can specify list properties like display templates or object definition to be used. These properties determine how the table entries are displayed in the user interface result list.

    TIP: You can define display templates for menu items, object definitions, and table lists.

    The display template is determined by the following in order:

    1. List display template for the menu item
    2. Object definition display template
    3. Table display template
  • Create menu items you can use as references (links). Thus, the parts of the navigation interface an application uses several times, only need to be created once. The referenced menu items are always shown in navigation interface as opposed to the links.
  • Utilize variables in designing menu item names and display templates as well as in insert values and database queries.
    TIP: Define the required variables in the menu item for the menu category. Variables are inherited within a hierarchical navigation. This means that variables in deeper levels of a hierarchy can be reused or overwritten. At run-time the actual value is passed to the variables.
  • To display menu items in the user interface, assign the menu items to the Manager application.
  • Assign the menu items to the permissions groups for non role-based and role-based login.

Notes on working with the User Interface Editor

Use the User Interface Editor to edit the navigation of the One Identity Manager tools. All menu items are hierarchically displayed in the navigation overview.

  • You can use the User Interface Editor’s wizard to create a preselection of menu items to be edited.

  • Use "drag and drop" to move menu items around within the hierarchy.

  • Use the Options | Show captions menu item to switch between the technical names of the menu items and the user-friendly captions.

  • Use the Options | Create menu markers menu item to mark menu items. Define the menu items using a WHERE clause wizard. These are highlighted in red in the navigation overview. Use the Options | Remove menu markers menu item to remove the highlighting.

  • You can display additional columns in the navigation overview using the Options | Select columns menu item.

  • Use simulation mode to simulate the navigation view during editing.
