Prerequisites for Structured Attribute Support

To add structured attribute support in the User Console, the definition for the structured attribute in the directory configuration file (directory.xml) must include the following parameters:

• multivalued="true"

  The attribute must be a standard multi-valued attribute in the user store.

• displayhint="value1;value2;valueN"

  The displayhint parameter should contain a list of fields that are available in the attribute value, separated by a semicolon (;).

• valuetype="structured"

  The valuetype parameter must be set to "structured" to configure a display table in the User Console. If this parameter is not set correctly, the fields required to configure the display table do not appear.

A completed attribute description for a structured attribute should resemble the following:

<ImsManagedObjectAttr physicalname="emailaddress" required="false" searchable="false" multivalued="true" displayhint="email;type;primary" valuetype="structured">

Note: For more information on how to configure the directory.xml file, see the Configuration Guide.
