Associating User Information with Properties Using the User
Information — Property Map
The User Information — Property Map enables you to map
user information to user properties in the portal. The information
in these user properties can then be displayed in the user's profile,
or it can be sent to content crawlers, remote portlets, or federated
searches so that users do not have to enter this information on a
separate preference page.
To map user information to portal properties you must have
the following rights and privileges:
- Access Administration activity right
- Access Utilities activity right
- At least Select access to the properties you want to map
Note: The Full Name attribute is automatically mapped to
display name of the user unless you override it on this page.
- Click Administration.
- In the Select Utility drop-down
list, click User Profile Manager.
- Under Edit Object Settings, click User Information
- Property Map.
- Add a property. Click
Add; then, in the Choose
Property dialog box, select the property you want to add
and click OK.
- Map attributes to the property:
- Click
next to
the property name.
- In the text box, type the attribute.
To map the property to multiple attributes, separate the attribute
names with commas
(,).
- Repeat Steps 4 and 5 to map additional properties.
To remove properties, select the property
you want to remove and click
.
After mapping user information to portal properties, you
need to import the user information through profile sources or have
users manually enter the information by editing their user profiles.
