Functions in the Navigation View

The navigation structure of the user interface is hierarchical and allows users to drill down to the selection of an object definition. The top level of the hierarchy is used to classify the data managed by One Identity Manager into specified categories. Categories include a range of different menu items. Select a category on the category tab. You can configure additional settings in the configuration menu.

Figure 7: Navigation view in the Manager with the "Organizations" category as an example

The following types of menu items are used within a category:

  • Fixed menu items that sort a category's objects according to various criteria.
  • Data-dependent menu items to display a hierarchical structure within a table.

TIP: If menu items are linked to preprocessor-relevant configuration parameters, the preprocessor conditions are shown behind the menu items. Enable "Show additional navigation options" in the program settings.

Specific mouse commands are available:

  • You can open or close a menu item by double-clicking on the entry name.
  • Click the name of the menu item to show the found objects in the result list, as long as a corresponding object for that object type is found. If there are no objects for a defined menu item, the result list is empty.

Functions in the Result List

The result list shows all the objects that correspond to the object definition and the conditions of the selected menu entry. Select an entry from the list. The object is loaded and the first available form appears in the document view. If there are no objects for the selected menu entry, the document view continues to show the most recently selected form.

A list title is shown in the title bar of the result list. This depends on which menu item in the navigation structure was used to select the object. This list title also contains the number of elements in a list.

Figure 8: Examples of a result list

In the result list, an object is marked with the symbol that was set when the interface was configured. If an object is deleted by the One Identity Manager Service, the object is initially marked for deletion. It is permanently deleted only after a set time period. Objects that are selected for deletion are marked with the icon .

NOTE: Objects marker for deletion are struck through on the overview form.

By default, an object is loaded when it is double-clicked and the first available form appears in the document view.

To load objects with a single click:

  1. Select Database | Settings... from the menu.
  2. On the User tab, enable the option Use single clicks.
  3. Click OK.

Select single objects one after the other to update the opened form in the document view. Only one form is open at a time.

To display multiple forms in the document view:

  • Use Alt + Click or click Open on new tab from the context menu to open the objects.

    This means that you can quickly switch between objects without having to reload the object from the list again. The forms stay open when you switch between categories.

To edit multiple objects at the same time:

  1. Select the objects in the result list using Shift + Click or Ctrl + Click.
  2. Open the master data form either by pressing Enter, clicking the corresponding icon in the result list or clicking Tasks | Edit master data in the context menu.

New objects appear in the result list under the entry "New items". Used objects appear in the result list under the entry "Last used".

To show the most recently used objects:

  1. Select Database | Settings... from the menu.
  2. On the User tab, enable the Show recently used objects option and set the Object type count.
