Configure Column Settings

In Adaxes Web Interface, information in Active Directory object lists is divided into columns.

Initially, object lists are displayed with the default columns and users can add, remove and reorder them by clicking the Columns button located above the list.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to configure which columns are displayed in object lists by default, and which columns users can add to the lists.

1. Open Adaxes Web Interface Configurator.

   How

   • On a computer, where Web Interface Configurator is installed, open the Start menu.
   • On the Start menu, select Adaxes Web Interface Configurator.

   

   ---

   The permissions to configure the Web Interface are delegated via Security Roles. By default, only Service Administrators have the appropriate rights. To enable other users to configure the Web Interface, grant them the corresponding permissions.

   Grant permissions

   • In Adaxes Administration Console, right-click your Adaxes service, point to New and click Security Role.
   • Enter a name for the new Security Role and click Next.
   • On the Permissions page, click the arrow inside the Add button and select Configure Web Interface.

   

   • Click Next and follow the steps in the wizard.

2. In the top left corner, select the Web Interface you want to customize.

   

3. In the left navigation menu, click Browsing.

   

   Scroll down to the Columns section.

4. To configure which columns users can select in the Columns dialog, click Edit under the Available columns list.

   

   If a column is not present in the Available Columns list, it will not be displayed in the Web Interface, and users will not be able to add it using the Columns dialog.

5. To customize the default columns, in the Columns visible by default section, select the Web Interface component for which you want to modify column settings. Then click the Edit button located under the list.

   

   Columns for Reports and Business Units are configured in the settings of each report and Business Unit.

6. Save the changes.

   The settings in a section can be applied to other Web Interfaces. For this purpose, in the top right corner of the section, click the down arrow button and choose Apply to other Web Interfaces.
