Hi Chris,

I followed below documentation and able to create custom attributes and set relationship between attribute's def names and its value. However, it's not showing attributes under groups (as shown highlighted in the screenshot). Is there a way to show custom attributes (read from the database) and display it under group attributes sections?

Thank you,

Ah, based on your description looks like I might be following correct documentation.

Below are the commands I am running in the GSH that would create attribute loader. However, when I run the loader, it does not set relationship between attribute's def names. Are below configuration wrong? or Implementation is needed to set the relationship values?

You should be able to add a type with GSH, and put that in the group query in the loader and it will add that type to the group.  Does that make sense?  This is implement as an attribute def and attribute name but you dont need to worry about that...  not, it cannot be loaded with a value yet...

Subject: Adding Custom Attribute

 

Hi Chris,

 

I am working on creating the Departmental Hierarchical groups in the Grouper (https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Organization+hierarchies+via+the+grouper+loader). I'm trying to add a custom attribute to the group (Eg. Supervisor_Name), I added Supervisor_Name column in the group table and ran the loader, but Supervisor_Name attribute didn’t show up on the group.  

 

I think I need to implement code to read data from the table column and show up as an attribute in the group. Please let me know where in the source code does loader gets columns details (eg. Name, ID Path, etc) from the tables. Also, let me know if there is a better way to configure or implement from your point of view.

 

Thank you,

Akki
