Define Custom Display Types

In Directory Manager, several predefined custom display types are used in the default portal template. To customize the portal, you can use the predefined custom display types as well as define new ones.

How to Implement Display Types​

On the Search Forms, Properties, Create Object, and Property Validation pages in a portal’s design settings, select a schema attribute and a display type to link them.

On linking, the display type is rendered on the portal’s page; enabling users to view or specify a value for the linked attribute.

Delete a Custom Display Type​

You can delete custom display types, including linked combos.

NOTE: You cannot delete a custom display type that has been linked to a field in the portal.

To delete a custom display type:

  1. In Admin Center, select Applications in the left pane.
    On the GroupID Portal tab, a portal's card displays its info.

  2. Click the ellipsis button for a portal and select Settings.

  3. Select an identity store under Design Settings to delete a custom display type for it.
    All identity stores associated with the portal are listed under Design Settings. You can design a different portal for each of these.

  4. Click Custom Display Types in the left pane.

    • On the Simple Types tab, click Delete for a custom display type to delete it.
    • On the Linked Combo Types tab, click Delete for a linked combo to delete it.

  5. Click Save.
