One Identity Manager provides an array of form templates and definitions in the default installation. These can be used for easily creating your own forms.
Another way to create custom forms is to make custom form archives available. Normally, default forms in One Identity Manager are replaced with self developed forms.

Forms of the MemberRelation type are used to display the data in an assignment list (many-to-many relations). Enter the hierarchy path in the table definition to display the table hierarchically. Enter the foreign key column that the hierarchy should be based on.
Example:
An Active Directory user account (ADSAccount table) is typically displayed on an assignment form below its Active Directory container (UID_ADSContainer). The Active Directory container (ADSContainer table) is, on the other hand, displayed underneath its Active Directory domain (column UID_ADSDomain). The path for the hierarchy structure is entered as follows:
Table 42: Example of a hierarchy path
ADSAccount |
UID_ADSContainer, UID_ADSDomain |
ADSContainer |
UID_ADSDomain |
You can specify an alternative list for objects that do not have values in all foreign key columns after a pipe (|).
Example:
(UID_ADSContainer,UID_ADSDomain|UID_ADSDomain)

Self developed form templates can be provided for custom forms in a form archive (*CustomForms.*.vif). You need to add the form template, form definition and interface form with help of the Form Editor if you want to display your custom forms in the user interface.
A wizard is available to swap a default form with all its dependencies for a custom form. The wizard creates the interface form with the form definition and the form template. The properties of the new form are taken from the form it is replacing. The necessary assignments (object definition, menu item, permissions group, and application) are created for the new form and the replaced form is disabled.
To replace custom forms with all dependencies
-
In the Designer, select the User interface > Forms > User interface forms category.
-
Select hierarchical representation of the form overview. Set the Options > Tree/list view menu option to do this.
-
At the highest hierarchy level of the form overview, select the form template of the form to be replaced and start the wizard using the Replace by context menu.
-
On the start page of the wizard, click Next.
-
On the Select file and form page, enter the following information.
-
On the Define form structure page, check the names of the form definitions and user interface forms. The names of the form definitions and user interface forms should all begin with CCC. Use F2 to change the names and select Enter to save the change.
-
On the Select permissions group page, select the permissions group to which the new user interface form should be assigned. Use the button to create a new permissions group.
-
The last page of the wizard summarizes the settings for replacing a form. To replace the form, click Finish.
The wizard is closed after replacement is complete. The new form is displayed in the Form Editor form overview after the wizard is complete and you can continue editing it. The replaced form is disabled and can therefore no longer available in the user interface.
