Effects of object definitions when displaying interface forms

Interface forms that need to be valid for all entries in a database table are allocated a general object definition. Other limited object definitions can have more interface forms. If an entry is selected in the user interface, the currently valid object definitions are used to gather all the interface forms and display them in the user interface in their sort order in the task view and in the context menu.

Example:

The following object definitions with interface forms are set up for the ESet table.

Table 40: Example: Interface forms for object definitions

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.
