6.11 Placement Rule

6.11.1 Publisher

If the Matching rule determines that there are no matching objects, and the Create rule verifies that the event meets the minimum requirements, the Placement rule specifies which object to create, and where to place. For the Publisher channel, the object created is placed in the Identity Vault using the naming rules contained in policy. For example, the Identity Vault places all objects in the Data\Users\ container.

6.11.2 Subscriber

On the Subscriber channel, the Placement rule works the same as the Publisher channel. Placements in connected systems can be simple or complex. A simple Placement rule places all objects in the same location.

Placements in the connected systems require a detailed knowledge of how objects are represented in the connected system.

A more complex example might use an HR location code attribute to determine where to place an object. You can use a Mapping Table to help establish the relationship between a placement location and an attribute value.
