PWM and Profile Update

[Jaco Burger]

Hi,

I am configuring PWM in order for users up update their personal information. Most of these attributes is quite simple but I also want to configure Location (L) which is based on a list of pre-determined values. I noticed that I can config Location as a "select" type and then I can add values under options | select options. My list of locations however is +_450 so to capture that manually is a bit of an issue. 

I downloaded the config file and see that the list is in plan text 

value>{"name":"L","minimumLength":0,"maximumLength ":255,"type":"select","required":false,"confirmati onRequired":false,"readonly":false,"unique":false, "labels":{"":"Location"},"regexErrors":{"":""},"de scription":{"":"Location"},"selectOptions":{"loc1" :"Location 1","loc2":"Location 2"}}</value>

I am concerned the 450 entries in 1 text string is not the most efficient but it would also be nice to de-couple the application from the data in similar way the the UA have a query option to query eDirectory for a list of objects (locations in this case) so I have the following questions:

1. What is the limit (no of entries) of what you can configured inside SSPR/PWM without it breaking?

2. Is there another entry type that could achieve something similar to retrieve a list from an external source?

3. Are there any documentation available on the input types and facilities to configure them?

Anybody have some info or ideas?

1.  Who knows, try it out and let us know how it goes.

2. No, but you could write javascript to read/populate the values from some other source.  Please do not ask us how, you need a js developer to do this.

3. No, but they are standard HTML5 elements with Dojo widget overlays and there is plenty of online docs about both.
