Using a Project that is Connected to a
Directory Service
Enterprise
Edition Only!
Some ID Works Enterprise projects are connected to a directory
service for data storage. If your ID Works project is connected to a
directory service, your menu bar will have a Record menu and the
Quick Search button will be available on your Database Toolbar (if
you have it selected in the View menu).
Directory services store information in objects. There can be many
entries in an object. Each entry is composed of attributes that have
one or more values. For example, an employee entry could have a
“last name” attribute. The information you enter in fields in the ID
Works Production window can be stored as attribute values.
Searching the directory service to retrieve information is explained in
chapter 4, Searching the Data Source.
Changing Information in a Directory Service
If you have permission to make changes to information in the
directory service, a Save button will appear on your Database
Toolbar and the Record menu will have a Save command.
