Identity Table is configured through the

Identity Table

dialog. This dialog can be opened in either

Add New IDT

or

Edit Existing IDT

mode. When in

Add New IDT

mode, the user has to provide Logical MDM-RE System/MDM-RE Identity Table the configured IDD Identity Table will represent.

Either in

Add New IDT

or

Edit existing IDT

mode, the

Identity Table

dialog presents the same set of configuration options; with only exception that choosing Logical MDM-RE System/MDM-RE Identity Table is available only for

Add New IDT

mode.

Identity Table

dialog consists of IDT-common section and three tabs where different aspects of IDT presentation are configured.

IDT common attributes:

Attribute	Description
Logical MDM-RE System	Select Logical MDM-RE System the IDT being created belongs to from a list of logical systems configured for this application Active only in Add New IDT mode.
Name	Select MDM-RE Identity Table IDT being created represents. List of options depends on selection in Logical MDM-RE System drop down. Active only in Add New IDT mode.
Display Name	Display name for the Identity Table, as it will appear on UI. Defaults to MDM-RE Identity Table's name

In

Add New IDT

mode selection of physical MDM-RE IDT for

Name

drop down triggers loading of system metadata.

Identity Table

dialog provides defaults for all configurable properties based on system metadata values.

In the above diagram,

Available tabbed editors:

Search

List of available searches for IDT is read from metadata. This list cannot be changed. User has possibility only to specify display names for searches. The view name should be mapped to the name specified in the View-Definition section of the MDM-RE system definition file.The view defines the set of fields to be displayed for each search type.

Label

Configures label for the tab header of the tab displaying cluster(s) of this IDT.

Label configuration process consists of:

Example:

On the screenshot above there are two columns selected to be part of a label,

ROWID_OBJECT

and

DISPLAY_NAME

.

Label pattern is

{0},{DISPLAY_NAME}:{ROWID_OBJECT}

.

{0}

is reserved for IDT display name and will be transformed to

Organization

.

DISPLAY_NAME

and

ROWID_OBJECT

will be transformed to values of the Starting Record. So the resulting label for this pattern might be like on a screenshot below - IDT's Display Name), (Starting Record‟s

DISPLAY_NAME

field's value):(Starting Record's

ROWID_OBJECT

field's value)

Note that when label doesn't fit into available space on the tab header, the full label text can be seen as a tooltip:

No attributes format is a fall-back format used when none of the columns taking part in label composition (those from

Selected Columns

area) have a non-null value. You shouldn't add any record field references to No Attributes Format.

Clusters

List of available clusters for IDT is read from metadata. Users can provide cluster display name, relationship view node color and icons and configure cluster label that is used for labeling of Relationship View nodes. The view name should be mapped to the name specified in the View-Definition section of the MDM-RE system definition file.The view defines the set of fields to be displayed for each cluster type.

Cluster node is represented in the Relationship View as a rectangle with a border of configured color. Cluster view is based on current zoom, there are three levels of cluster details:

There is ZIP file with sample icons for Relationship View provided with IDD –

icons/RelationshipViewIcons.zip

.

To use your own icons in the Relationship View create a ZIP file containing your icons, for each cluster type create two icons: 16 x 16 icon for the small icon and 48 x 48 for the large icon. Import ZIP file into the IDD application using

Import to existing IDD application

command. Then specify names of icon files in the

Large Icon

and

Small Icon

columns.

To invoke the Label editor, press

…

button in

Label

column. Functionally this editor is not different from IDT label editor, see the Label tab description above.
