Identity Manager logical attributes let you display user store attributes (named physical attributes) in a user-friendly format on task screens. Identity Manager administrators use task screens to perform functions in Identity Manager.
Logical attributes do not exist in a user store. Typically, they represent one or more physical attributes to simplify presentation. For example, the logical attribute date can represent the physical attributes month, day, and year.
Logical attributes are processed by logical attribute handlers, which are Java objects that are written using the Logical Attribute API. For example, when a task screen is displayed, a logical attribute handler might convert physical attribute data from the user store to logical attribute data, which is displayed in the task screen.
You can use predefined logical attributes and logical attribute handlers included with Identity Manager or create new ones using the Logical Attribute API.
Note: For more information, see the Programming Guide for Java.
