Specify attributes that can be edited

Specify which attributes for your Profiles user interface should be able to be edited. Attributes that can be edited display on the Edit My Profile page.


Follow these steps for modifying attributes that can be edited for a Profiles form:

  1. Identify those attributes that can be edited by a profile owner based on the data that you can copy from your corporate into the Profiles feature database, and the requirements for your organization. You specify a particular field as editable by enclosing it in an XML element named editableAttribute as follows:

      <editableAttribute showLabel="true" hideIfEmpty="true" hcard="true" email="secretaryEmail" uid="secretaryUid"  appendHtml="&lt;br/&gt;">secretaryName</editableAttribute>
      

  2. The order in which you specify profile attributes that can be edited dictates the order of the form controls for each profile attribute on the Edit My Profile page. You have some control over the form control shown for a particular attribute and how any values provided are stored in the Profiles feature database. Although every effort was made to give you this level of control without your having to modify style sheets, you could conceivably customize the Edit My Profile page in such a way where the layout may not be perfect.


    Input types for attributes that can be edited

    Input type Description Example
    Multi-line input Displays an HTML text area form control.

      <editableAttribute 
       multiline="true">
       description
      </editableAttribute>
      

    Rich multi-line input Displays an HTML rich-text editor form control.

      <editableAttribute 
       richtext="true">
       description
      </editableAttribute> 
      

    Edit disabled Makes the field read-only.

      <editableAttribute 
       disabled="true">
       displayName
      </editableAttribute>
      

    Typeahead for name entry Offers name completion as a name is entered.

      <editableAttribute 
       hcard="true" 
       email="secretaryEmail" 
       uid="secretaryUid">
       secretaryName
      </editableAttribute>
      

    Draft mode for attribute Not a display type. Updates to a draft profile attribute can be sent to your corporate in addition to being updated in the Profiles feature database through facilities available in Tivoli Directory Integration.

      <editableAttribute 
       draft="true">
       jobResp
      </editableAttribute>
