Ability to select users from Value Help

[Murali_Shanmu]

Hi,

I have a requirement where I have created a new attribute for MX_PERSON. I am planning to show this new attribute in the UI and allows users to select existing users in the Identity Store. I was going thru Auto-Delegate UI delivered by SAP and it has something that I am looking for with the "Select" and "Remove" button. Wonder if I could do something similar for my new attribute.

Cheers,

Murali.

Murali,

Peter is correct in that you need to make the attribute Data type: "Entry Reference". This is located on the Storage Tab of the attribute. Also on that tab, you can set the "Reference entry type", which controls which entry type gets referenced.

On the presentation tab, make sure the Presentation is "Referral". That should give you the Select and Remove buttons above.

If you need to further restrict the list of possible entries to be chosen, you can use a SQL query to do so on the "Attribute Values" tab. We have an attribute like this that is restricted just to those entries with MX_MAIL_PRIMARY populated.

Hope that helps!

Thanks Jared, Peter and Ivan.

It works like a gem. The value being returned to the custom attribute after selection of a value is the MSKEY.

The attribute should be:

Data Type: Entry Reference

Single Value

Reference Entry Type: MX_PERSON

I haven't tested it but if you make your attribute Single Line and type is Entry Reference it should give you something similar.

Not sure how you're going to limit it to people - your best bet is playing with the validation on the attribute
