Define Link Attributes

Define link attributes by adding headers to the CA GovernanceMinder Discovery and Audit configuration file for linking members, roles and resources.

Important: The initial three lines in the configuration file are reserved for user and resource database files. Do not insert headers in these areas.

Note: You must edit the configuration file (*.cfg) header field to enable the Attributes button option where it appears when editing a resource.

To edit the configuration file

  1. Locate and open the applicable configuration file and add an attribute type declaration.

    Configuration files are usually located in the Sage Demo folder in the installation directory (C:\Program Files\CA\RCM\Client Tools\Sage Demo).

  2. Insert and edit headers for the desired link attributes.

    For example, for a user-resource link use the following header:

    User-Res-Field-Names,"Att1","Att2"
    

    Where "Att1" is the expiration date, and "Att2" is printer.

    For example, for a user-role link, use the following header:

    User-Role-Field-Names,"Att3"
    

    Where "<Att3>" is "Manager".

  3. Save and close the configuration file.
