Configure Object-Task Navigation

Tasks that are configured for object-task navigation include a search screen only. Users search for an object to manage, and then use pop-up task menus to view all of the tasks that they can perform on that object.

When you configure object-task navigation, note the following:

• The action for the admin task on the Profile tab must be Search.
• The admin task cannot contain tabs.
• If you want to configure all admin tasks to use object-task navigation, you may want to create nested tasks for creating objects and for deleting multiple objects. These actions are not supported in the object-task navigation model.

To configure object-task navigation

1. Complete one of the following steps:
   • Select Modify Admin Task from Roles and Tasks, Admin Tasks. Search for and select the admin task to modify.
   • Select Create Admin Task from Roles and Tasks, Admin Tasks. Then, select Create a copy of an Admin Task and search for a task to copy.

     Note: To simplify configuration, consider creating a copy of an existing Manage task, such as Manage User. The default Manage tasks include the configuration settings required for object-task navigation.

   Identity Manager displays the tabs to configure for the task you selected.

2. Configure the settings for the Profile tab as needed. Set the Action for the task to Search.
3. Select the Search tab and click the ellipses (...) button next to the Search Screen field to configure the search screen for the task.

   Identity Manager displays a list of search screen definitions that you can apply to this task.

4. Select the search screen definition that you need.

   Note: To simplify configuration, consider creating a copy of an existing Manage search screen definition, such as Manage Users Search. The default Manage search screens are configured to support object-task navigation.

5. Complete the fields in the search screen configuration screen as needed.

   Note: If your environment does not include separate tasks for creating a new object or deleting multiple objects from a single screen, which are accessible from the main task navigation, you can add links to those tasks from the task you are creating. Specify the task in the Add Task Button or Add Multi-Delete Button fields and optionally specify a label for those tasks.
