Using a Directory Service with ID Works Projects 111
ID Works Standard and Enterprise Version 5 Administrator’s Guide
• Production Form Date fields can be used but cannot be
connected to the directory service. In other words, information in
Date fields cannot be stored or retrieved.
• If Production operators are to add entries to the directory service,
you must include a Production Form field that is connected to the
cn attribute.
• Consider selecting the Mandatory check box for any Production
Form field that will be connected to a “must” attribute in the
directory service.
• ID Works Enterprise supports a single value per attribute. Do not
connect a Production Form field to a multi-valued directory
service attribute.
• A project cannot be connected to multiple directory service
objects.
In addition, you should be aware of the following limitations in the
Production, Reporting, and View applications:
• Advanced search and stored search are not available.
• Only the first value is returned for multi-value attributes.
• Referrals are not supported for searches. Values that return a
referral will be shown as blank.
• Some directory services compare only the first value of multi-
value attributes when being searched.
• In the Production and Reporting applications, the Print All
command will print the first attribute value for each entry that has
multi-value attributes.
• In the Production application, directory service entries cannot be
deleted. New entries can, however, be inserted.
• In the Production application, deleting a value in a Production
Form field sets the directory service entry attribute value to a
string with no length.
