Removing a Class or Attribute

If you do not want a class or an attribute to be mapped to a class or attribute in the connected system, the best practice is to completely remove the class or the attribute from the Schema Mapping policy. There are three different ways to add or remove attributes and classes from the Schema Mapping policy:

Select the class or attribute you want to remove, then right-click and click Delete.
Select the class or attribute you want to remove, then click the Delete icon in the upper right corner.
Select the class or attribute you want to remove, then press the Delete key.

You can select multiple classes or attributes to delete at the same time.

Press Ctrl and select each item with the mouse.
Press the Delete key to delete the items.

Select the Add Class Mapping icon in the upper right corner.

6.2.2 Refreshing the Application Schema

If you have modified the schema in the application, these changes need to be reflected in the Schema Mapping policy. To make the new schema available, click the Refresh application schema icon in the toolbar.

When you create a new class or attribute mapping, you can see the new schema in the drop-down list for the connected application.

6.2.3 Editing Items

To edit a mapping, double-click the selected row. An in-place editor appears, allowing you to edit the mapping.

6.2.5 Managing the Schema

Designer allows you to manage the Identity Vault schema and any connected system's schema. You can import the schema, modify it, and deploy the changed schema back into the Identity Vault or the connected systems. To manage the Identity Vault schema, right-click in the Schema Map editor and click Manage Identity Vault Schema. To manage the connected systems schema, right-click in the Schema Map editor and click Manage Application Schema.
