13.1.2.1.1 Adding a Data Field to a Form

To add a data field to a form:

1. In the Additional Columns tab, click Add.

A blank row is displayed in the Additional Columns tab.

2. In the Name field, enter the name of the data field, which is displayed in the

database, and is recognized by Oracle Identity Manager.

3. Double-click the Variant Type lookup field.

Default Value This value is displayed in the associated data field after the form is generated and if no other default value was specified from the following scenarios: ■ A pre-populate adapter, which is attached to the form field, is run. ■ A data flow exists between a field of a custom form assigned to one process and a field of a custom form associated with another process. ■ A resource object, which has been requested for an organization, has a custom form attached to it. In addition, one of the fields of this custom form has a default value associated with it. It is strongly recommended that you do not specify default values for passwords and encrypted fields. Order The sequence number that represents where the data field is positioned on the generated form. For example, a data field with an order number of 2 is displayed below a data field with an order number of 1. Application Profile This check box designates if the most recent value of this field should be displayed on the Object Profile tab of the Users form after the resource associated with this form has been provisioned to the user and achieved the Enabled status. If this check box is selected, the label and value of this field is displayed on the Object Profile tab of the Users form for users provisioned with the resource. Encrypted This check box determines if the information, which is displayed in the associated data field, is to be encrypted when it is transmitted between the server and the client. If this check box is selected, the information that is displayed in the data field is encrypted when it is transmitted between the client and the server. Note: Password fields are encrypted by default. When a data field of password field type is created, the value is displayed as asterisk characters in the Administrative and User Console, and the data is encrypted in the database. Note: This name consists of the TABLENAME_ prefix, followed by the name of the data field. For example, if the name that is displayed in the Table Name field is UD_PASSWORD , and the name for the data field is USERNAME, the data field name that is displayed in the database and Oracle Identity Manager recognizes, would be UD_PASSWORD_USERNAME .
