It is possible to create the configuration for an IDD Application manually from scratch, but a faster – and recommended – approach is to automatically generate an application, and then modify optional configuration settings if needed.
To generate an application for an MDM-RE System:
Select
MDM-RE Systems
in the tree on the left.
In the table displayed at the right panel select MDM-RE System and execute
Create App
command available at the Command toolbar.
Add Application
dialog is displayed, it prompts to provide the Name and Display name for the generated application.
After you click the
OK
button IDD reads the metadata from the selected MDM-RE System, generates an IDD application, validates and deploys it. After command finishes it is possible to login to the generated application.
For the generated application following optional settings could be modified:
Display name for objects in the MDM-RE System such as Identity Table, Search, Multi-Search.
Identity Table layout (columns from the Identity Table displayed in the IDD application).
Rules to generate cluster labels (label is used to display clusters in the Relationship View, and it is displayed in a tab header when a cluster is opened).
Colors and icons used to display clusters in the Relationship View.
