Attaching fields to represent inetorgperson data

After you create a vendor form, you populate the form with fields that contain data from your inetorgperson data source. This section describes how to add a field to represent the uid (User ID) in the inetorgperson example.

To add a field to represent the uid attribute in the inetorgperson scenario

1. In Developer Studio, open the vendor form you created earlier.
2. Right-click in the form and choose Add Fields from tableName.
    The tableName variable is the object represented by ldap://LDAPDirectoryServiceHost/o=remedy.com??sub?(objectclass= inetorgperson).
3. In the Add Fields dialog box, select a field to add and click OK.
4. Position the field on your form, as required.
5. Select the field to display its properties in the Properties tab.
6. In the Properties tab, expand the Vendor Information category (see the following figure).
   
   Field Properties tab--vendor information
   
7. Change the value of the Column property to uid.
8. Click File > Save.

You can also define an attribute to support more that one value. For more information on multivalued attributes, see Specifying multivalued attributes.

 Alternative method of adding a field to represent the uid attribute
