Identity Manager 8.0 - Configuration Guide

Use full-text search to look for entries within the internal Designer database. You will find the full text search on its own menu bar in the Designer.

To search for a term

Enter your search term in the Search text box.
You can enter more than one partial terms. Use of wild cards (*) is permitted. Case sensitivity is not taken into account. Entries are searched for that contain all the partial terms given.

Entries (objects) are already displayed while the search term is being entered.

Figure 6: Displaying the Source

The icon to the left of the entry shows the entry’s object type (table),e.g. a process, a table or a menu item.
The source that the object is extracted from is shown to the right of the entry. The search term is highlighted by an underline.
Database tables, object relations and the exact source are also displayed in a tooltip.
Double click on an entry to jump to the corresponding object.

If there is not entry found for an search term, suggestions are made that you can accept by double clicking with the mouse.

Figure 7: Suggestions for Search Terms

If you have selected an entry, the search term is added to the search history and is therefore available for further searches.

Open the search history with the arrow in the search text box.
When you select an entry, all available sources are shown.

The number of entries in the search history depends on your program settings.

TIP: Update the full text catalog of the Designer database if you need to include objects in the search that have been edited after the program started, like new processes or column names. You do this with the Update index item, in the search history.

Using User Defined Filters for Searching

Working with the Designer > Using User Defined Filters for Searching

It is possible to limit the number of list entries in certain Designer editors by using a filter. After creating a filter, the filter conditions are immediately implemented on the set of result currently displayed. A filter remains in use until you reset it.

Ad hoc filter
Ad hoc filters are used for a one-off reduction of list entries. These filters are not saved and are applied to the data immediately.
Permanent filter
A permanent filter is recommended if you want to reuse it more frequently. Permanent filters are saved in the user configuration and therefore are always available for use.

Using an Ad Hoc Filter

Working with the Designer > Using User Defined Filters for Searching > Using an Ad Hoc Filter

Ad hoc filters are used for a one-off reduction of list entries. These filters are not saved and are applied to the data immediately.

To use an ad hoc filter

Select Filter | Define filter... in the menu or use the icon .
This opens the wizard for creating database queries. The wizard helps you to formulate a condition (where clause) for database queries. The complete database query is composed internally. It always refers to the database table that is specified when you start the wizard.

IMPORTANT: Enter the condition for limiting the result set in SQLite notation. The condition is defined as a valid where clause for database queries. The condition relates to the selected database table found that is determined when the editor starts.

For more information, see the One Identity Manager User Guide for One Identity Manager Tools User Interface and Default Functions.
