Identity Manager forms are typically classified into one of two categories:
Forms that drive the graphical user interfaces. These forms, which can be part of either the Identity Manager Administrator or Identity Manager User Interface, include the pages that users use when:
Changing passwords
Performing self-service
Administrative tasks that involve account creation, system configuration, and workflow tasks.
You can use the default forms that ship with Identity Manager as springboards for creating your own custom forms. While you will probably want to copy and directly edit only a subset of these forms (see the section titled Edited Forms), you can peruse other forms for examples of how to encode particular attributes or behaviors.
Forms that perform background-processing on information being imported into Identity Manager from an external resource. For example, as part of the process of reading information from a PeopleSoft database into Identity Manager, a form checks employee status on incoming records. If the employee status is not active (A), the form defines a field that disables the Identity Manager account for that user.
The following table shows some of the Identity Manager pages that use forms of the first type. Use this table to identify the form that controls the display characteristics of the page you want to edit.
