User Search functionality in Admin Pages
657206Aug 29 2008 — edited Dec 16 2010Hi All,
I have just started with OIM and am trying to do some basic customization before diving in deep.
My idea was to modify the User Search Functionality in the admin pages (Users -> Manage).
The drop down boxes there shows a list of options on which we can search i.e. User Id, First Name and so on. This list as far as I read the doc comes from Lookup Definition "Lookup.WebClient.Users.Search", which in turn as I see is used in conjuction with the tjspGenerateSerachForm and the FormMetaData.xml (and in there associated with FormName='3' which is tcfrmUsrAsp class) to display up the drop downs and etc.
Now my requirement is to make the list in the drop down a dynamic one, instead of having hard coded values in Lookup definition. When I say dynamic I mean, suppose a manager logs in, then he/she should have the option "Manager User ID" pre selected and it's value populated to his/her own id in the first drop down list. AND if an non-manager logs in then all should work as it comes OOB.
Has anyone ever worked on such this before? Would appreciate if anyone can point where to proceed from...Making the list as a dynamic one is the biggest challenge I am facing now.
Thanks
