Designer supports a specialized form control called nrfRequestDN of data type Role Request. The control type is Text. It is defined by default when you create a copy of the standard roles based provisioning request definitions. It represents the Role Request object.
Designer supports a specialized form control called nrfResourceRequestDN of data type Resource Request. The control type is Text. It is defined by default when you create a copy of the standard resource based provisioning request definitions. It represents the Resource Request object. You can add this control only once. nrfResourceRequestDN is the field name and it cannot be changed in the GUI.
Designer supports a special internal control you can add to a form to allow users to add comments to a workflow or to view previously entered comments. Comments are required on forms that use CommentAction or UpdateAction. The comments are not part of the workflow data so you cannot access them via the flowdata object. The comments are special data items stored in the afcomment table of the workflow database. The comments are persisted as long as the row for the requestid in the afprocess table exists.
To create a form that supports user comments:
Add a control to your form. Select Comment as the data type. The Form Field name is automatically defined as apwaComment and the Control Type is TextArea. A single form can contain only one comment field.
Add a CommentAction or UpdateAction to the form.
For more information, see Section 5.4, Action Reference.
The properties in the following table are available for each control.
Table 5-6 General Properties
Property Name |
Description |
---|---|
Display label |
Specifies the label to display to identify the control. It is localizable. |
Editable |
Specifies if the control is editable (True). Otherwise, it displays as read-only. |
Events |
Specifies an event for the control. Possible values include the following:
|
Multivalued |
This is a read-only property. It specifies if the control supports multivalue attributes (True). |
Required |
Specifies whether the control requires user input (True). |
Tooltip |
Specifies the text for the control’s tooltip. It is localizable. |
Visible |
Specifies whether the control is displayed in the user interface (True). |
List-based controls sort content alphabetically. For DN-based lists, the sort order is alphabetical based on the Display expression property result. For all other types, the sort order is based on the display label.
Use the CheckBoxPickList control to allow users to view and choose one or more values from a dynamically generated list of choices displayed as check boxes.
When the associated data type is a DN retrieved from the Identity Vault, you can display the check box label as the fully qualified DN or use the Display expression property to specify the attributes to display instead.

Some additional steps are required to take advantage of an Identity Manager 4.5 DNContainer form field enhancement. This enhancement allows you to display the container description instead of the container O/OU name.
To enable the DNContainer enhancement, you need to manually update the Designer install to add properties to the DNContainer control. Then, you need to create a DAL entity corresponding to the container for which you want to display an attribute. Finally, you need to use the form editor to choose the entity and attribute.
Locate the following file in your Designer install:
/opt/novell/idm/Designer/plugins/com.novell.core.scriptengineshell_4.5*/lib/UIRegistry.jar
Back it up first, then use a suitable jar/zip tool to modify the file within the jar:
com\novell\srvprv\impl\uictrl\UIControlRegistry.xml
Locate the <ctrl key="DNContainer" section and add the following properties at the end:
<prop name="display-entitydef" type="string" since="1.9"> <display-label rb-key="LAB_DIS_ENTITYDEF"/> </prop> <prop name="display-exp" type="expression" since="1.9"> <display-label rb-key="LAB_DIS_EXPRESSION"/> </prop>
Put this file back into the JAR in its original location and start Designer.
In Designer, create a new DAL entry with an unused name, such as myDescriptionLookup.
For the base class of this DAL entry, choose Organization, and pick the attribute you want to show (for example Description).
When the DAL editor is open, change the LDAP name of the class to Top. This allows you to view the Description for Organizations, Organizational Units, and so forth.
To use the new DAL entry, open a PRD and go to a form. Add or pick a dn/DNContainer field.
Fill in the two new fields (Entity key for DN expression lookup, Display expression) with the values specified above (myDescriptionLookup, Description).
Deploy the new DAL entry and the PRD.
On the User Application, clear the cache or restart the server.
Test the new PRD to ensure that the descriptions are shown instead of the cn in the DNContainer control.
Make sure the containers you are going to show have a Description value; otherwise, cn is used. Containers, by default, leave this value blank.
Use this control to display a read-only DN. You populate the control from flowdata. The control can display the full DN or a set of attributes associated with the DN depending on the properties you set. The DNDisplay control cannot be modified by the workflow engine. For this reason, it is not available for post activity mapping.

Display expression |
Leave this value blank if you want to display the full DN or CN value. If you want to mask the DN by displaying attributes instead, launch the expression builder and select the desired attributes from the list. (You must first specify an Entity key for DN expression lookup.) For example, to show the user entity’s first and last name attributes, construct an expression like this: FirstName LastName. Make sure the attribute’s View, Read, Search, and Required properties are set to True in the directory abstraction layer. See Section 3.7.2, Attribute Properties. |
Entity key for DN expression lookup |
Leave this value blank if you want to display the full DN or CN value retrieved from the Identity Vault.

Object Selector type |
Determines whether the object selector dialog box performs an Object Lookup or a Container Lookup. paramlist: Causes the object selector dialog box to perform an object lookup. You specify the lookup criteria via the Entity key for DN Expression lookup property. container: Causes the object selector dialog box to display one or more containers for selection. The containers for searching are determined by the Search container property, which is specified in the directory abstraction layer for the entity named in the required Entity Key for DN Expression lookup property. For example, if the Entity key for DN Expression lookup property is Group, the search container is set to %group-root% by default. If no search container is used, the search root specified during the User Application installation is used. |

For more information on preselecting values, see the Section 9.2.3, Form Control Examples.
Use this control to allow users to display, edit, or add multiple values in a drop-down list box. You can load the data dynamically from the Identity Vault, or allow users to enter the values.
The control’s appearance varies depending on the data type of the control and the properties that you specify. For example, if the data type is a DN, you can set properties that display specific attributes related to the DN. You can also enable an object selector button that allows users to search and select values by setting the Entity key for DN expression lookup property.
There are also properties that let you specify a DAL Global Query to execute or specify a root DN to drive the object picker.

Add data entry text field |
When this option is set to True and there is a single row of data (and the data is not a DN), the control displays a data entry text field. The text field is displayed when the field is empty or contains only one value. Otherwise, the drop-down list is displayed. If more than one row of data exists, then the drop-down list always displays. |
DAL Global Query |
Specify this value if you want the control populated by the results of the Global Query that you specify. You specify the key name. You can select it from the Event Action Expression Builder. For more information about using queries in forms, see Section 5.7, Using DAL Queries in Forms. For information about defining queries, see Section 3.4, Working with Queries. |
DAL Global Query Parameter(s) |
Specifies the value for the query parameters. For example, this passes the String Sales to the queries parameter called groupname. (function (){return {"groupname":"Sales"}})(); |
Display expression |
Leave this value blank if you want to display the full DN or CN value. If you want to mask the DN or CN by displaying attributes instead, launch the Expression Builder and select the desired attributes from the list. (You must first specify an Entity key for DN expression lookup.) For example, to show the user entity’s first and last name attributes, construct an expression like this: FirstName LastName. Make sure the attribute’s View, Read, Search, and Required properties are set to True in the directory abstraction layer. See Section 3.7.2, Attribute Properties. |
Enforce uniqueness |
Forces user-entered list items to be unique. |
Entity key for DN expression lookup |
Leave this value blank if you want to display the full DN or CN value retrieved from the Identity Vault. If you want to mask the DN or CN by displaying attributes instead, choose the entity from the drop-down list and specify a set of attributes in the Display expression property. The entity you choose must

Lower bound (for numbers only) |
Minimum integer or decimal value. |
Maximum length |
Maximum number of characters for string values. The control blocks input when this value is reached. |
Minimum length |
Minimum number of characters for string values. The control validates that the user enters at least this number of characters. |
Number of lines displayed |
The number of lines displayed by the control. This is not the number of records retrieved or displayed, but the vertical size of the control. If you set this number to 10 and there are only 5 records to display, the control size is still 10 lines. You can set the number of lines to 1 or to 3 or greater. You cannot set it to 2 because it does not leave enough space for the browser to display scroll bars. If you set it to 2, Designer generates a warning in the Project Checker view and resets it to 3. NOTE:When displaying large result sets in a multivalued control, different browsers render controls at different speeds. We recommend limiting the number of lines displayed in a control to a maximum of 150 lines. |
Numbers only |
If this option is set to True, only numbers can be entered. |
Object Selector type |
Determines whether the object selector dialog box performs an Object Lookup or a Container Lookup. The following is an example of an Object Lookup: paramlist: Causes the object selector dialog box to perform an object lookup. You specify the lookup criteria via the Entity key for DN expression lookup property. container: Causes the object selector to display one or more containers for selection. The containers for searching are determined by the Search container property, which is specified in the directory abstraction layer for the entity named in the Entity key for DN expression lookup property. For example, if the Entity key for DN expression lookup property is Group, the search container is set to %group-root% by default. If no search container is used, the search root specified during the User Application installation is used. |
Resolve DN |
When set to False, the DN is displayed rather than the Display expression. Consider using this when you expect a large number of DNs to be returned, and you are concerned about performance. |
Root Container |
Specify a root container for lookups when users click the object selector button. If you specify an entity key and a root container, the entity key takes precedence. |
Show object history button |
When this option is set to True, displays the Object History button next to the control. |
Show object selector button |
When this option is set to True, displays the Object Selector button next to the control. |
Sort entries |
When this option is set to True, sorts the results in ascending order. For details, see Sort Order. |
Upper bound (for Numbers only) |
The maximum numeric value users can enter. |
HINT:To retrieve user-entered values for this control, use flowdata.getObject() and not flowdata.get(). If you use flowdata.get(), you get only the first value.
For more information about preselecting items, see Section 9.0, Working with ECMA Expressions.
