Wizards

The main importance of wizards is to simplify the work of the user, so as to avoid complicated entering values and possibly to avoid common mistakes.

System wizards

System wizards are used primarily to create a new system connected to a given external system. The first step is to select the connector you want to use for the connection.

An existing system can be opened in the appropriate wizard, which provides an easy pass at the cost of limited advanced configuration options.

In the version 10.6.0, a universal wizard for creating a system was added. Since version 10.7.0, we focused on creating specialized wizards that simplify the configuration of the connector.

Currently, the following specialized wizards are available in IdM:

CSV wizard

In the case of a CSV wizard, the user does not have to fill in the location of the CSV file on the server, but can simply use the drag and drop zone to upload the file.

Another simplification is the selection of the primary identifier, where the user does not have to remember the name of 'columns' in the CSV file, but they are all read from the file and offered in the selectbox.

Database table wizard

Another specialized wizard is used to connect database tables. Previously, the user had to configure the attributes that are charged to the database. For example, the name of the database driver, the mask for the composition of the resulting URL, etc. Now the user is exempt from this and the wizard does this for him.

Currently, three wizards are available for connecting database tables for PostgresSql, MS SQL server and MySQL. The wizard for the given database type is displayed only if the given IdM installation has the necessary database driver available.
