  • 1.  Text field with a drop down using Logical Attribute

    Hi I'm currently new to developing Java API using identity minder.

    In logical attribute is it possible for a text field to have a drop down results? 

    Here is my case:

    A text field that has a search button beside it. Once I click search the results will display underneath the text field like a google recommendation more life a combination of text field and a dropdown.

    If so may I know the approach?

    Here is the documentation on search screens in IM:

    https://techdocs.broadcom.com/content/broadcom/techdocs/us/en/ca-enterprise-software/layer7-identity-and-access-management/identity-manager/14-3/configuring/user-console-design/search-and-list-screens/search-screen-configuration/search-fields-and-search-results.html


    I did not see anything on this page about search suggestions. I am not sure this would be available for things like users, as that would be an LDAP query and not cached so the application server would not be able to populate a search screen with suggestions because your current user search would be different from your last user search. Same with groups.

    Even for objects like admin roles or tasks, policies, and workflows the suggestion cache would have to be updated every time one was created or deleted (not a big deal for a prod environment as these types of changes should only be done in QA and only the permanent roles or tasks would be migrated to prod but it still happens).

    Thanks for your insight William.

    I was thinking something like a datalist 
    Currently we have a text field with a search button once search button is clicked
    results will display in a drop down.

    My goal is to somehow combine the text field and the drop down like the screenshot attached.
