10.1 Checklist for Setting Up the Dashboard for Identity Applications
NetIQ recommends that you review the following checklist for setting up the enhanced Identity Manager Dashboard:
Checklist Items
Create compound indexes for all the basic attributes. To use any other attributes, you must create compound index for those attributes. For more information about creating compound indexes, see Creating Compound Indexes in the NetIQ Identity Manager Setup Guide.
NOTE:If you create a compound index for a multivalued attribute and this attribute has multiple values, the identity applications return duplicate records in user catalog when you sort using that attribute.
For example, if you created a compound index for multivalued attribute named as First Name, and it holds multiple values, you will see duplicate records for each values when this attribute is used for sorting.
Modify the administration configuration settings for the Dashboard. You can customize the following settings:
User access to pages
Attributes displayed in user profiles
Logo, stylesheet, and other brand settings
For more information, see “Customize the User Interface” in the Help for the Dashboard.
Add links to the Applications page to provide your users easy access to common permissions and activities. For example, you might want to provide links for administrators to access Catalog Administrator and the User Application.
NOTE:With Identity Manager 4.6, the Dashboard replaces Identity Manager Home and Provisioning Dashboard. The Dashboard’s Applications page should replicate Featured Items that had been in Identity Manager Home.
