Select Box Data

Identity Manager task screens include fields that allow users to select a value. These fields include the following:

• Check Box Multi-Select
• Dropdown
• Dropdown Combo
• Multi-Select
• Option Selector
• Option Selector Combo
• Radio Button Single-Select
• Single-Select

You can specify custom data that you want to use to populate select boxes in XML files. For example, you can use the Select Box Data XML files to populate options for a City or State drop down box on a Profile tab for the Create User task.

You can also use the Select Box Data XML file to configure a dependency between two fields in a task screen. For example, the options that are available in the City field may depend on the option a user chooses in the State field.
