You can use the User Interface Editor’s wizard to create a preselection of menu items to be edited. The wizard offer several possible methods for selecting the best suited user interface navigation:
To select a user interface navigation to edit
Loading Method | Description |
---|---|
Create a new user interface navigation |
Creates a new user interface navigation with initial menu categories. |
Direct selection of defined menu items |
To select defined menu items in the wizard, navigation menus are displayed for all applications in the database. Select the menu item you want to edit. |
Load menu items through permissions groups or users | To group menu item by permissions groups, select all permissions groups of one system user or single permissions groups. |
Copy a user interface navigation |
You can use the wizard to copy menu items from an existing permissions group to another permissions group. |
Load menu items using WHERE clause | You can load menu items directly using a WHERE clause. Enter the WHERE clause manually or use the WHERE clause wizard to create one. |
After completing the wizard, the menu items corresponding to the selection are loaded and presented for editing in the User Interface Editor.
You can use the wizard to copy menu items from an existing permissions group to another permissions group. The wizard is not just limited to copying each menu item but can also copy the necessary permissions structure.
To copy an existing user interface navigation
- OR -
This data is used to label the menu items. A name prefix is required for making the new menu item names because names of menu items in the navigation must be unique. Use the customer prefix as name prefix.
Option | Meaning |
---|---|
Copy column permissions | Copies the column permissions of the permissions group. |
Copy table permissions | Copies table permissions of the permissions group. |
Copy user interface form assignments | Copies the user interface forms of the permissions group. |
Copy method assignments | Copies method definitions of the permissions group. |
The copy process can take some time depending on the number of selected parts. The components to be copied are displayed.
After completing the wizard, the menu items corresponding to the selection are loaded and presented for editing in the User Interface Editor.
The copy process can take some time depending on the number of selected parts. After the wizard has finished, the menu items are displayed in the User Interface Editor for further editing.
The properties described in the following are valid for all menu items: Other properties may be required for different menu item types.
Property | Meaning | ||
---|---|---|---|
Menu Item | Unique menu item relation. You should try to use a meaningful name that can be passed on in the child structures. This makes it easier to trace the position of child items. The parent menu item and the hierarchy is determined by the insert position in the user interface navigation. The menu item name can contain variables in order to represent the menu items. | ||
Entry type | Menu item entry type. | ||
Caption | Language dependent caption to display the menu item in the user interface. The caption for data dependent menu items can contain fixed strings and variables. Display text for recursive data dependent menu items is inherited from the parent menu item. Translate the given text using the | ||
Sort order |
If several menu items have the same parent menu item, the sort order specifies their position in the display order. If the configuration parameter "Re-sort submenu items by caption" is set for the parent menu item, the given sort order does not take effect. | ||
Icon | Icon for displaying the menu item in the navigation. Recursively data dependent menu items inherit the parent icon if none is given. | ||
Overlay icon definition |
VB.Net expression for defining overlays for the icon. Is used to display the status in the Launchpad. | ||
Condition | Specify the conditions under which the menu item is displayed in the navigation. The input must satisfy the "WHERE clause" database query syntax. Use may use variables to formulate your condition. | ||
Configuration flag | Special functions are set for menu items with the configuration flag. For more information, see Table 143. | ||
Preprocessor condition |
You can add preprocessor conditions to menu items. This means that a menu item is only available when the preprocessor condition is fulfilled.
| ||
Disabled by preprocessor | If a menu item is excluded through a preprocessor condition, this option is set by the Database Compiler. | ||
Description | Spare text box for additional explanation. | ||
Disabled |
Specifies if the menu item is displayed in the user interface or not. Disabled menu items are never displayed in the user interface.
| ||
Show under "My One Identity Manager" | This option marks the menu items to be displayed in the category My One Identity Manager in the Manager. |
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.
For more information about general properties of menu items, see General Menu Item Properties. The following properties are necessary to put together a database query:
Property | Meaning | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Table | Table that the values are read from. | ||||
Sort by |
Display elements are sorted by these table columns. The input must satisfy the "Order by" database query syntax. Sorting is given by the columns of the display template if no value is entered. You should use a sort order if the data has a date or represents language dependent data.
| ||||
Condition |
Condition for limiting the number of results displayed. The input must satisfy the "WHERE clause" database query syntax. You can use variables for formulating a condition. If the menu items are recursively data dependent then variables have to be used.
| ||||
Unique |
The query result cannot contain doubled items. By setting option, any doubt is eliminated.
| ||||
Recursive invocation |
This menu item is the recursive successor of the previous menu item. If the option is not set, the results are represented by a flat structure. Set the option if the menu item is required to represent a hierarchical structure. You have to define recursive data dependent menu items below a data dependent item without recursion. |
