It is now possible to import and deploy Provisioning Request Definitions (i.e. work flows) from and to a User Application Driver in the Identity Vault.
You can now modify all aspects of existing work flows or work flow templates in the context of the full IDM Designer environment.
You are no longer bound by the 19 work flow template patterns supplied with IDM 3.0. You can now create any arbitrary work flow topology that matches your specific provisioning needs using drag and drop tools in a graphical environment.
You now have control over the layout and design of forms used for starting work flows and approval steps in work flows.
You can also create and re-use form templates to speed up work flow design and creation. Use any Data Abstraction Layer data and user application visual controls to build your forms including Date Pickers, DN Pickers, Check boxes, Text Areas, etc.
Preview your forms before deploying them for testing.
The new Entity Activity allows work flow based data management (add, change, delete) of any Identity Vault objects and attributes exposed through the Directory Abstraction Layer. For instance, you can create a work flow whose objective is to add a user to a group in the directory or modify a person's title.
The Condition Activity allows for sophisticated conditional processing of work flow paths. Use any work flow data items and the ECMAScript expression language to change a work flow's behavior pattern.
The Branch and Merge activities give you control over how many simultaneous paths to execute in a work flow in the work flow topology you need.
Pre and post activity Data Item Mappings allow you to access and manipulate work flow, activity, and arbitrarily created data using the full capabilities of the ECMAScript language. This capability includes making calls to and getting returns from Java for special processing.
For a complete exercise in modifying an existing work flow or creating a new one from scratch, see the IDM 3.0 Provisioning Request Definition Editor Quick Start Guide.
