Novell Doc: Understanding Designer for Identity Manager

4.12 The Dataflow View

Designer allows you to manage how the data flows between the Identity Vault and the connected systems. You can see how the data flows between all of the connected systems, make changes as needed, create reports about the data, and view the flow of passwords between the systems.

The Dataflow view enables you to perform the following functions:

View the filters that allow the data to flow between all of the systems and the Identity Vaults
View how the passwords flow through the different systems
Add, delete and edit driver sets, drivers, filters and Identity Vaults from one location
Generate HTML reports of the data flow and password flow

The Dataflow view includes the following icons in the icon bar at the top of the view:

Table 4-14 Dataflow View Icons

Name	Description
Add Filter Class	Add a new filter class to the dataflow list.
Add Filter Attribute	Add a new filter attribute to a selected filter class.
Expand All Classes	Simultaneously expand all filter classes to reveal all existing filter attributes.
Collapse All Classes	Simultaneously collapse all filter classes to hide all existing filter attributes.
Clear Arrows	Clear all dataflow arrows from the drivers in the modeler.

The Dataflow view and the Dataflow editor manage the data. The Dataflow view displays the flow of data in the Modeler per driver. The Dataflow editor displays a more granular view.
