Profile Screen Customizations

A profile screen is comprised of fields, which collect and display attribute values. For example, the profile screen for user objects contains fields such as First Name, Last Name, and Email address. A profile screen may also include the following optional components:

• Page separators
• Images
• Attached files
• History fields
• Custom online help text
• Links to nested tasks

When you create CA IdentityMinder environment, CA IdentityMinder creates default profile screens that contain fields for all the attributes specified for that object in the directory configuration file (directory.xml). System administrators should customize the default profile screens to ensure that they meet business requirements, and provide the best CA IdentityMinder performance.

Note: For information about CA IdentityMinder performance, see the Implementation Guide.

System administrators can customize the default profile screens by doing the following:

• Determining the fields that appear on the profile screen
• Specifying the style of the fields
• Defining field values for list boxes and other field styles
• Adding page separators to simplify the display
• Adding pictures
• Attaching files
• Adding links to other tasks
• Adding custom online help text
