Using the Reference Field
The Reference Field in the Active Directory wizard allows the process designer to create a field by typing in a name that can be referenced later within the AD wizard. This makes the design process easier and quicker as the field can be selected instead of specifying the details again. The reference field created in the Create User is created as type User and will therefore only surface in the following User actions with in the wizard:
- Update User
- Disable User
- Add User to Group
- Remove User from Group
- Remove User from All Groups
Note that the Reference field does not appear in the context browser or the object browser, but only in the Active Directory wizard itself. The value assigned to the reference field is only available for use in that specific process and cannot be surfaced in a different project or process.
For example, when a new user John Brown is added in the Create User action and a reference field of JBrown is created. Later on when using the Update User action then JBrown will appear in the User Name(DOMAIN\USER): dropdown box.
- Creating the JBrown Reference Field.
- Using the JBrown Reference Field in the Update User action.
