Flag to know how a user was created

MAS77
over 6 years ago

Hi, I would like to add a new column in the table Person through SchemaExtension, the aim will to automatically fill it as per the way the user was created : either an import or a manual creation via the web portail.

my question is : is there any way to differantiate these two ways and how can i set up this configuration (i know through a simple process but how can i specify my need) ?

thanks a lot

    Hi,

    There is already an attribute on the Person table that you could use for this purpose - ImportSource. If an entry is created in Person from the ADSAccount - it will be set to ADS. The field has a 'List of permitted values' that can be extended as you require. I recently did an implementation where I created Employee (Person) records from a HR CSV feed. For this scenario I set the value to HR to denote that it came from HR.

    HTH, Barry.

    thank you I just discovered this attribute. but how did you automatically set the value to HR when it comesfrom HR feed (through a process or a virtual property in the synchronization editor?)

    Hi,

    In the CSV import I simply created a vrt attribute and added it to the mapping. For the portal you'd have to do some web designer magic to add it (don't ask me as I don't do WD!).

    Cheers, B.
