IBM Security Identity Governance and Intelligence, Version 5.2

Identity Governance and Intelligence modules

Every Identity Governance and Intelligence module has a set of common features.

General features

  • For every module, a specific tab opens by default.
  • There are Help and Logout options in the module frame.
  • There is an IBM® logo that you can mouse over to activate the Icons bar where you can directly access the other modules.

Tabs

In every module, you can always find two levels of tabs that are indicated in the red rectangle.

The action area tabs are in the first level of tabs. They indicate general actions you can perform on entities in the second level of tabs. The second level displays a set of specific working areas.

There might be a third level tab, which is known in a blue rectangle. It has one or more specific operations that belong to one of the second level tabs.

The following figure shows an example of the 3-levels tabs module:

Frames

The standard GUI is organized in two frames.

In most cases, search filters correspond to a subset of the attributes of an item. The following wildcard characters modify the search criteria:
%
Searches for any sequence of characters.
_ (underscore)
Indicates a single character.

Navigates through the pages.
Pagination
Selects the number of items that are paged after the search operation, such as 10, 25, 50, 100, or 200.
Refresh
Refreshes the contents.
Actions
Contains functional buttons that perform operations such as Add, Remove, Import, Export, Build.
Note: Every Identity Governance and Intelligence module can have a different set of functional buttons in the actions menu.

In the lists of items that are subdivided into one or more information columns, you can click any column heading to reorder the list items for that specific column. In these frames, you can also find one or more buttons to perform specific operations.

The right frame consists of dedicated sections to perform different kinds of operations. In these frames, it is common to find command buttons and accordion panes. Typical command buttons are of the following type:
Save
Saves the performed operations.
Cancel
Deletes all the data that is entered in the different fields.
Different operative sections can be hosted into accordion panes. In the following example, you see the Query management section of the Report Designer module with two accordion panes.
