4.6 The Outline View

The Outline view provides an outline of the active editor. To open the Outline view, select the Outline tab in the upper left view of Designer, or if the view is not open, click Window > Show View > Outline.

The Outline view’s contents vary, depending on the editor you have open at the time.

  • For the standard Designer editors, you see a tree view of the information, a thumbnail graphical view, or a Policy Flow view, depending on which mode you are in.

  • If you open an XML editor for an XML file in the Navigator view (not the embedded XML editor that is part of the Designer editors), you see a tree view of the XML document.

Selecting items in the Outline view also selects them in the Modeler. If the selected item isn’t visible in the Modeler, it automatically scrolls into view. Similarly, as you add or remove items the Modeler, they are automatically added or removed in the Outline view.

The Outline view provides a standard menu of functions, which are available by right-clicking the Outline tab. The Outline view also provides an icon bar of additional functions specific to the Outline view.

Figure 8-13 shows a typical Outline view along with its icon bar.

4.6.14 Publisher and Subscriber Channels

A channel is a combination of rules, policies, and resources. Designer allows you to import a channel instead of the entire driver. The Subscriber and Publisher channels describe the direction in which the information flows.

The Publisher channel takes the event from the application, database, CSV file, etc., and sends that event to the Identity Vault. Channel events do not need to be the same on each channel.

The Subscriber channel takes the event from the Identity Vault and sends that event to whatever the receiving system is (application, database, CSV file, etc.).

An application icon with an overlay signifies that there is more than one driver connected to the application. A driver set icon with a server overlay signifies that the driver set is connected to an Identity Manager server.

Overlay icons can be informational, warnings, or they can signify errors. In the Compare window, overlay icons tell you whether the object is on the server or in Designer.

They also tell you if you have customized the policies that come in packages. You can either keep your customizations or revert back to the original state of the policy as it is in the package.

4.6.17 Schema Mapping
