Impro­ve­ments in Smar­tEdi­ti­on 2017.2

The latest update in First­Wa­re IDM-Por­tal Smar­tEdi­ti­on 2017.2 has been dri­ven main­ly in respon­se to our cus­to­mer’s feedback.
 

Self Ser­vice Link

The ‘About’ page in the new ver­si­on of the IDM-Por­tal inclu­des a Self Ser­vice link which is only visi­ble for admi­nis­tra­tors, i.e. users with an admin role. This gene­ric link can be shared with all users of the IDM-Por­tal. A click on the link auto­ma­ti­cal­ly opens the users’ pro­fi­le on the portal’s Self Ser­vice page. If Win­dows authen­ti­fi­ca­ti­on is not acti­va­ted, it will prompt the user for a user name and password.

Active Directory Self Service Link

This link can be publis­hed on the intra­net. With just one click users can open their pro­fi­le and update their own data, such as pho­ne num­bers which are direct­ly updated in AD.

Addi­tio­nal search attri­bu­tes and table columns

Search attributes SmartEdition 2017.2When con­fi­gu­ring the table colum­ns and search fil­ters, most of the AD attri­bu­tes in IDM-Por­tal Smar­tEdi­ti­on are now avail­ab­le for selection.

All tog­e­ther around 50 attri­bu­tes can be cho­sen and dis­play­ed in up to 10 table columns.

 

The selec­ted dis­play attri­bu­tes are shown in the results table as follows:

Customized search tables

The tables can be spe­ci­fi­cal­ly cus­to­mi­sed for each role.

New attri­bu­tes

Attri­bu­tes ‚c‘ (coun­try abbre­via­ti­on) and ‚other­Te­le­pho­ne‘ (other pho­ne num­ber) have been added to the con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on mask (also as search and dis­play attri­bu­tes). They can be used as values in an AD Pho­ne Book.

New AD attributes in IDM-Portal SmartEdition 2017.2Qui­te often employees have more than one pho­ne num­ber through which they can be reached at their desk or wit­hin the com­pa­ny. Next to the pri­ma­ry work tele­pho­ne num­ber (‚tele­pho­neN­um­ber‘), the IDM-Por­tal Smar­tEdi­ti­on now also inclu­des the attri­bu­te ‚other­Te­le­pho­ne‘.

 

In addi­ti­on to the ‚co‘ (coun­try) attri­bu­te it is some­ti­mes requi­red to add a coun­try code to the user pro­fi­le. Ver­si­on 2017.2 incor­po­ra­tes ‚c‘ as a new attri­bu­te for coun­try codes. With the help of a .csv file this field can inclu­de a drop­down list with the com­mon­ly used two-cha­rac­ter coun­try abbreviations.

All the­se chan­ges are dri­ven by our cus­to­mers‘ requests for bet­ter dele­ga­ti­on of AD user manage­ment tasks and are now avail­ab­le in IDM-Por­tal Smar­tEdi­ti­on 2017.2.

Other impro­ve­ments

The but­tons at the bot­tom of the ‚Con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on‘ page were re-arran­ged to make their usa­ge more intui­ti­ve. A new tool­tip was added with hel­pful explana­ti­ons. Tool­tips are dis­play­ed when the mou­se cur­sor hovers over the but­tons (mou­se over).

A click on the but­ton ‚Reset to default‘ brings up a new mes­sa­ge box. Users are advi­sed that label and design con­fi­gu­ra­ti­ons go back irre­vo­ca­b­ly to default values.

When a user with the admin role clicks on his own pro­fi­le (Self Ser­vice), the user’s pro­fi­le page is loa­ded with admin set­ting. In other words, ins­tead of the restric­ted view of the Self Ser­vice role an admi­nis­tra­tor can see a full pro­fi­le page reflec­ting the per­mis­si­ons of an administrator.

The print view of a user’s pro­fi­le page has also been impro­ved. Only tho­se fiel­ds are visi­ble on the page which are avail­ab­le in the rele­vant role as read­a­ble and wri­ta­ble fields.

Bug­fi­xes

First­Wa­re IDM-Por­tal Smar­tEdi­ti­on 2017.2 inclu­des a num­ber of bug­fi­xes from the pre­vious version.

How to obtain the update
