Templates for automatically filling the IT Shop

You can create templates for setting up shelves automatically. Use templates when you want to set up shelves in several shops or shopping centers with the same products.

Table 73: Templates overview

Template

Description

Global shelf templates

A global shelf template is automatically distributed to all shops within the IT Shop solution. A corresponding shelf with products is added to each shop. If a new shop is created within the IT Shop solution, the global shelf template is immediately applied to the shop.

NOTE: Global shelf templates are not distributed to default shops.

Special shelf templates

A special shelf template is manually assigned to one or more shops. A corresponding shelf with products is added in these shops. A special template can be distributed additionally to shopping center templates.

Shopping center templates

A shopping center template references one or more shopping centers. You can only assign shopping center template to shopping center. Once you assign a special shelf template to a shopping center template, a corresponding shelf is added to all the shops in the shopping center.

In order to simplify understanding, these templates are given the umbrella term shelf templates in the following.

To use shelf templates

  • In the Designer, set the QER | ITShop | Templates configuration parameter.

    NOTE: If you disable the configuration parameter at a later date, model components and scripts that are not longer required, are disabled. SQL procedures and triggers are still carried out. For more information about the behavior of preprocessor relevant configuration parameters and conditional compiling, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.

The following is valid for all shelf templates:

  • If a template is modified, the changes are passed on to all shelves created from this shelf template.

  • If a shelf template is deleted, all the shelves that originated from it are deleted from the shop. Outstanding requests are completed.

  • Shelf templates can only be deleted when their assigned products and approval policies have been removed.

The following diagram illustrates the shelf templates that can be set up, their assignments, and the resulting IT Shop solution.
