How do I configure a managed object property to be required and not empty in IDM (All versions)?

Last updated Jan 12, 2023

The purpose of this article is to provide information on configuring a managed object property to be required and not empty in IDM. This configuration is used to prevent null values being permitted.


Configuring a managed object property

To make a managed object property both required and not empty, you can specify both the required and not-empty functions. These functions are available in the default policy script file (policy.js, located in the /path/to/idm/bin/defaults/script directory).

Example

You can add a policies section to the required property in the managed.json file (located in the /path/to/idm/conf directory) with both these functions defined. For example, it would look like this for the city property:

"city" : { "type" : "string", "title" : "City", "description" : "City", "viewable" : true, "userEditable" : true, "usageDescription" : "", "isPersonal" : false, "policies" : [ { "policyId" : "required", "params" : { } }, { "policyId" : "not-empty", "params" : { } } ] }

This configuration ensures the city property is always present and contains an actual value when creating or updating objects.
