Creating and Modifying a Lookup Value

15-6 Oracle Fusion Middleware Developers Guide for Oracle Identity Manager The following section describes how to select a target form for user-defined fields.

15.3.1 Selecting the Target Form for a User-Defined Field

To select the target form for a user-defined field:

1. Open the User Defined Field Definition form.

2. Double-click the Form Name lookup field.

From the Lookup window that is displayed, select the Oracle Identity Manager form Resource Objects, Organizations, Roles, or Form Designer that will display the user-defined field you will be creating.

3. Click OK.

The form to which you will be adding the user-defined field is selected.

15.3.2 Tabs on the User Defined Field Definition Form

After you start the User Defined Field Definition form and select a target form for the user-defined fields, the tabs of this form become functional. The User Defined Field Definition form contains the following tabs: ■ User Defined Columns Tab ■ Properties Tab ■ Administrators Tab Each of these tabs is covered in greater detail in the sections that follow.

15.3.2.1 User Defined Columns Tab

You use this tab to do the following: ■ Create a user-defined field. ■ Set the variant type, length, and field type for the user-defined field. Auto Pre-Population This check box designates if user-defined fields for a form that have prepopulated adapters attached to them will be populated by Oracle Identity Manager or a user. Select the Auto Pre-Population check box if these fields are populated by Oracle Identity Manager. Deselect this check box if these fields must be populated by a user by clicking the Pre-Populate button on the toolbar or by manually entering the data. Note : This setting does not control triggering of the pre-populate adapter. It only determines if the contents resulting from the execution of the adapter are displayed in the associated user-defined field or fields because of Oracle Identity Manager or a user. For more information about prepopulate adapters, see Oracle Identity Manager Tools Reference. Note : This check box is relevant only if you have created a user-defined field, and a prepopulate adapter is associated with that field. Table 15–2 Cont.
