Figure 5-1 Object selection options in a task
Select a Single Object
This is the default object selection method. Select a Single Object lets you specify a single object to
which the task is applied. When using the Object Selector to locate the object, selecting an object
automatically closes the Object Selector and inserts the selected object in the task’s object name field.
For more information about the Object Selector, see “Using the Object Selector” on page 29.
Select Multiple Objects
Select Multiple Objects modifies the tasks object name field to accept a list of objects instead of only
one object. The Object Selector also runs in “multiple object” mode so that you can select more than
one object at a time. For more information about the Object Selector, see “Using the Object Selector”
on page 29.
Simple Selection
Simple Selection opens a basic search tool in the Content frame. With this tool, you can search for
objects in the directory tree based on a specified property value.
Figure 5-2 Basic object filter in a task
The attribute list has a list of attributes on which you can perform the Search operation.
The operator list has a list of various operators to be used for the Search operation.
If you want the objects, which result after performing the search operation, to be sorted, select Sort the
resulting objects.
Simple Selection includes the following limitations:
• Searches the entire directory tree
• Does not support wildcards in the search criteria
• Supports only “starts with” and “equals” filters for property values
Advanced Selection
Advanced Selection provides a more configurable environment for searching the directory for the
desired objects.
