Setting External User ID on Epic EMP user creation

The External User ID can be set either by letting Epic autogenerate the ID or the customer can manually set the ID.

If the ID needs to be autogenerated by Epic, then a temporary unique id of the format OneIM_Autogenerated_GUID is automatically created on Epic EMP user account creation. The connector reads the ID and checks if it is an auto generated string of the format OneIM_Autogenerated_GUID. If that is the case, it lets Epic generate the ID for the Epic EMP user. The Epic generated ID is then resynched back in to OneIM.

If the Epic Admin needs to enter the ID manually on user creation, admin can disable the UserExternalID column's value template that generates the unique id in the designer. The admin can then manually set the ID on Epic EMP user creation.
