Referencing Attributes

Within a form, you can reference attributes in two ways:

• Use the name attribute of a Field element by adding the complete attribute pathname as follows:

  <Field name=’waveset.accountId’>

  For more information on setting the Field name element in a form field, see the chapter titled Identity Manager Forms.

• Reference an attribute from within another field:

  <Expansion> <concat> <ref>global.firstname</ref><s> </s> <ref>global.lastname</ref> </concat> </Expansion>

  Within workflow, you can reference Field attributes as process variables (that is, variables that are visible to the workflow engine) or in XPRESS statements for actions and transitions. When referencing these attributes in workflow, you must prefix the path with the name of the workflow variable where the view is stored (for example, user.waveset.accountId).
