Updating an existing attribute

There are two ways to do this depending on whether you want to update the attribute globally or for an individual object. If you update just for an individual object, other objects that use the attribute will not be changed.

  1. From the ISS admin console main menu, select Configuration->Schema Editor->Manage Schema. The list of available objects appears.
  2. Select the attribute for updating.

    If you want to update the attribute globally for all objects, click on the Attribute Library tab, locate the attribute and then select it.

    Or

    If you want to update the attribute only for the object to which it is assigned, first select the object and then select the attribute.

  3. With the attribute selected, scroll to the bottom of the page. On the attribute details page, click the Edit button.
  4. You can add or change values for any of the following properties:

    • Display name

    • Default value

    • Mapping. You can use this field to change the object that the attribute is mapped to. Type the name of the object that you want to associate with this attribute.

    • OID. This field is for the LDAP Object Identifier. Most Infor Lawson customers will leave this blank and let the number be generated. If your system requires you to populate this field, you can do so.

    • Required flag (Make the attribute required or optional.)

  5. Click OK when you are done updating attribute properties.
