Assigning user interface forms to menu items

You can assign user interface forms for individual menu items. The user interface form is displayed when a user selects the menu item in the navigation view or an entry in the result list. It is displayed irrespective of the user’s permission groups.

To assign a user interface form to a menu item

  1. In the Designer, select the User interface > Forms > User interface forms category.

  2. Select the Edit form task.

  3. In the Form Editor, select the user interface form.

  4. In the edit view, select the Menu assignment view and select the menu item.

  5. (Optional) Enable the Show in navigation option to open the form from the navigation view.

  6. Select the Database > Commit to database and click Save.

Displaying custom columns and tables on main data forms

Displaying columns in custom tables

To display custom database table in the administration tool user interfaces and edit the main data:

  • Create a user interface form using the form definition VI_Generic_MasterData. This form definition allocates the control element for editing main data in the user interface.

  • In the Designer, specify the order for displaying input fields in the Sort order property (DialogColumn.SortOrder). Columns with a sort order of less that one are not displayed.

  • Achieve a better overview of the input fields by grouping database columns. In the Designer, customize the Group property (DialogColumn.ColumnGroup) in the column definition. Each group has its own tab. The name of the tag corresponds to the group.

  • Columns whose data contents can be multiline are displayed in a multiline field on the generic form. Label these columns as multi-line.

Displaying custom columns in predefined tables

Separate tabs can be shown for custom column extensions to default tables on the predefined main data forms.

The preceding features apply if the predefined main data form uses the VI_Generic_MasterData form definition. Otherwise the following prerequisites are required for using this functionality:

  • Main data form already has tabs. Simple main data forms without tabs are not extended.

  • To change the sort order in which the input fields on the form are displayed, select the Sort order property (DialogColumn.SortOrder) of the database columns. Columns with a sort order of less that one are not displayed.

  • Database columns are grouped. In the Designer, customize the Group property (DialogColumn.ColumnGroup) in the column definition. Each group has its own tab. The name of the tag corresponds to the group. If no group is specified, a tab with the name Custom is displayed.

NOTE: Other special features apply to displaying custom schema extensions on the UNSAccountB, UNSContainerB, UNSGroupB, UNSItemB, and UNSRootB tables. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Administration Guide for Connecting to Custom Target Systems.

Hierarchical display of data on assignment forms

Forms of the MemberRelation type are used to display the data in an assignment list (many-to-many relations). Enter the hierarchy path in the table definition to display the table hierarchically. Enter the foreign key column that the hierarchy should be based on.

Example:

An Active Directory user account (ADSAccount table) is typically displayed on an assignment form below its Active Directory container (UID_ADSContainer). The Active Directory container (ADSContainer table) is, on the other hand, displayed underneath its Active Directory domain (column UID_ADSDomain). The path for the hierarchy structure is entered as follows:

Table 42: Example of a hierarchy path
Table Hierarchy path

ADSAccount

UID_ADSContainer, UID_ADSDomain

ADSContainer

UID_ADSDomain

You can specify an alternative list for objects that do not have values in all foreign key columns after a pipe (|).

Example:

(UID_ADSContainer,UID_ADSDomain|UID_ADSDomain)
