All designs, including the User Attributes form, are designed in uDesigner and deployed to Unifier. See Importing Configuration Packages. In uDesigner, you can:
- Add additional data elements to the User Attribute form.
- Configure Company User and Partner User logs.
- Add additional attributes to the View User Profile form and a User/Group picker.
The additional data elements appear as user properties on the General tab of the user administration edit studio form for Company users and Partner users (Company Workspace > Admin mode > User Administration > User Attributes - Home) as well as on the user View Profile form.
Example
The additional user properties can include a user’s department and location, or other details.
Note: The new attribute will be available only for Company users log and Partner users log and will not be available as part of custom attributes in other module designs.
In general, the User Attribute Form:
- Allows you to create a form to store metadata about a user.
- Adds user-defined fields to an existing user information.
- Allows you to define a log for owner and partner users.
- Defines picker for users.
- Is not required.
Note: If you do not define a User Attribute Form in uDesigner, Unifier uses default forms, logs, and user pickers.
The General tab also allows you to apply the User Attributes from a project or shell directory: Apply User Attributes from Project/Shell Directory.
If you select the Apply User Attributes from Project/Shell Directory option, then the user can use the User Attributes from a project or shell directory when the user is rendering the users log or picker details that are launched within a project or shell.
If you do not select the Apply User Attributes from Project/Shell Directory option, then no data will be copied (to the User Attributes from) from the company level to the shell level. In this scenario, the administrator must manually copy the information at the shell level; otherwise, the default forms, logs, and user pickers will not have any data to display for the additional attributes.
Note: If you add a user data picker in the User Attributes from, Unifier fetches values from the Company level and not the values from the project- or shell-level, and selecting the Apply User Attributes from Project/Shell Directory option would not be applicable in such scenario.
After you are done with your selection, click:
- Apply to save changes and keep the edit studio window open, or
- OK to save changes and close the edit studio window.
You can click Cancel to discard your changes and close the edit studio window.
The User Attributes form name, description, and type are read only fields, and their values are entered during the creation of the User Attributes form.
