Object definition properties

Table 32: Object definition properties
Property	Description
Exclusive	Objects labeled with this option are considered exclusive. That means, all other possible matching object definitions are not accepted as valid. If several object definitions of one table are labeled as exclusive, the object definition with the lowest sort order applies.
Display template	The display template specifies the form in which the data sets in the administration tool result lists are displayed.
Display name	The object's display name is used, for example, to identify the table in a database search or for error output. Display names can be given in more than one language.
List caption	Caption used to display the list title in the user interface.
Form caption	Caption used to display the form title in the user interface.
Selection script	Selection script as a VB.Net term, to determine during runtime whether the database object passed down belongs to this object definition. NOTE: The database needs to be complied after changing modifying the selection script.
Processing status	Object processing status. The processing status is used for creating custom configuration packages.
Condition	Condition required for the object definition to be used for displaying in lists. You define the condition as a valid WHERE clause for database queries. NOTE: The selection script and the condition must match. If one of the properties is given then the other one also has to be given!
Remarks	Text field for additional explanation.
Disabled by preprocessor	If an object definition is excluded through a preprocessor condition, this option is set by the Database Compiler.
Insert values	Default settings for fields that are assigned when a new data set is added. The input is in VB.Net syntax. NOTE: The database needs to be complied after changing modifying the values.
Background color	Color, with which the control for this object is displayed in the schema overview.
Object name	Name of the object.
Preprocessor condition	Object definitions can have preprocessor conditions added. This means, an object definition is only available when the preprocessor condition is fulfilled.
Sort order	The sort order is used for displaying the form title when an object is selected. The smaller the sort order magnitude, the stronger the restrictions defined for the object.
Icon	Icon for displaying the object definition.
Table	Table for which the object definition is created.

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 and edited in the User interface > User interface navigation category. The type of menu item determines the availability and editability of the properties.

Detailed information about this topic

Navigation elements

Table 33: 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 item, object definition, 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 program. For example, the Manager.
Assign the menu items to permissions groups for non role-based and role-based login.
