Creating the User Attributes Form

To create a User Attributes form:

  1. Go to the Company Workspace tab, and switch to Admin mode.
  2. In the left Navigator, select uDesigner, and then select User Administration.
  3. Select New, and then select User to open the General tab.
  4. Enter a name in the Name field and add a description in the Description field.

    The Type is always User Attributes.

Now you can create the node that holds the components of the user attributes (the fields). The columns in the log are preconfigured.

Note:

You can only create one user attribute item.

Each attribute form has the following sub-nodes:

  • Additional Attributes
    • User Detail Form
    • View Profile Form
  • Log
    • Company Users Log
    • Partner Users Log
  • Integration
    • Users

      Used for integration for both Company as well as Partner users. Also, it can be used to define the data elements for integration, when exporting or importing.

  • Picker

Unless you design and import your own User Administration Attribute form for company user administration, Unifier displays:

  • A default log, General User - Home (used when creating a user with the Company or Partner detail form)
  • User/Group picker

The following associated functionalities exists, unless specified otherwise:

  • Auto-population to form
  • Auto-population from form to other objects
  • Reverse auto-population from form
  • Reverse auto-population to other objects

    Note:

    Reverse auto-population (RAP) is not available for the uuu_disableusermobileaccess or uuu_useraccess_oac DEs.

After the integration form is created, the following attributes, and the Additional Attributes that you have defined, will be added, by default, as data elements available for integration.

Note that:

  • The direction is set to Output and only Company users will be created (when Import option is used). If Partners users are to be created, the direction has to be set to Input or Both.
  • For the uuu_user_company DE, the direction must be set to Input or Both to be able to integrate Partner users from Partner users log in the User Administration.
  • The validation applicable to company users data elements, for integration, will be applicable to partner users as well.
