Search Fields and Search Results

On another part of the search screen, you select fields that an administrator can use in a search query and fields to display in search results.

• Select the fields that a user can search on

  Select the fields that an administrator can use to create a search query.

  To add additional fields, select the fields in the list box below the search fields table, and click the plus (+) icon.

  After selecting the fields, you can change the order in which they appear by using the up and down arrow icons to the right of the field.

  Note: If you do not specify fields that an administrator can search on, Identity Manager starts the search automatically.

• Select the fields that appear in the search results

  Select the fields that Identity Manager displays in the search results. You can select fields that are not available in the search query.

  To add additional fields, select the fields in the list box below the search fields table, and click the plus (+) icon.

  • Style

    When you select a field to display in the search results, you can select one of the following style options:

    • Boolean Display Name

      Displays the name of the field for all results that are true. For example, if you enter Enabled as the name of the attribute that indicates a user's account status, "Enabled" would appear in the search results for all active user accounts.

    • Checkmark

      Displays the value as a selected or deselected checkmark based on the value of the attribute. For example, if you select the checkmark style to represent the Enabled/Disabled state of user accounts, IdentityMinder displays a selected checkmark for all active accounts.

    • Multi-Value String

      Displays the values in a multi-value attribute on separate lines. The values are listed alphabetically.

    • Read-Only Checkbox

      Displays the value as a read only checkbox.

    • String

      Displays the value as a text string.

    • Task

      Adds a task list to a field. Users click a right arrow icon to see a list of tasks that they can perform on the object associated with the search field. For example, if you add a task list to a Last Name field in the search results, users can click on the arrow icon in that field to see a list of tasks they can perform on the user they select.

      If you select the Task style, a right arrow icon appears next to the Style column. Click the arrow to open a Field Properties dialog. Use this dialog to configure a task list.

  • Sortable

    Select this checkbox to allow administrators to sort search results by a field or fields.

• Set the default sort order for the search results

  Specifies the order in which search results are displayed. Search results are sorted initially by the first field in the list and then by each additional field in the order in which they appear. Select the Descending checkbox to sort the results in descending order.

• Select objects with changes to field field name

  Specifies that only objects that have changed field names will be used.

• Return N results per page

  Select the number of results to display per page. When search results exceed the number you specify, Identity Manager displays a link to each page of results.
