The Filter editor allows you to create and edit the filter. It provides the following primary tasks:
By removing or adding classes and attributes, you determine the objects that synchronize between the connected data store and the Identity Vault.
If you do not want a class or an attribute to synchronize, the best practice is to completely remove the class or the attribute from the filter. To remove attributes and classes from the filter, do one of the following:
Right-click the class or attribute you want to remove, then select Delete.
Select the class or attribute you want to remove, then click Delete .
Click Clear Filter to delete all classes and attributes from the filter.
Click Add Classes .
You can also right-click in the Filter editor, then select Add Classes.
Browse and select the class you want to add, then click OK.
Change the options to synchronize the information.
To save the changes, click File > Save.
Click Add Attributes .
You can also right-click in the Filter editor, then select Add Attribute.
Browse and select the attribute you want to add, then click OK.
Change the options to synchronize the information.
To save the changes, click File > Save.
The Filter editor allows you to modify more than one attribute at a time. Press the Ctrl key and select multiple attributes; when the option changes, it is changed for all of the selected attributes.
You can copy an existing filter from another driver and use it in the driver you are currently working with.
Click Copy an Existing Filter .
You can also right-click in the Filter editor, then select Copy an Existing Filter.
Browse to and select the filter object you want to copy, then click OK.
If you have more than one Identity Vault in your project, you can copy filters from the other Identity Vaults. When you are browsing to select the other object, you can browse to the other Identity Vault and use a filter stored there.
You can define the default values for new attributes when they are added to the filter.
Click Default Attribute Settings .
Select the options you want new attributes to have, then click OK.
