Today I want to discuss a very niche topic in sailpoint which can make life a little bit easier, which is Quicklink and it is basically an extension of the standard LCM operations which are as following
→Launch workflows
→Link to specific areas of the UI
→Link externally •
→Granular access control
→Categories to allow for grouping
→Counting and displaying counts for objects
→Calculating and passing values into workflows
→Custom icons
Now lets deep dive into getting out hands dirty
so basically it starts with writing a simple XML which is as follows
Import the xml file from Global Settings
Next steps are navigate to Global Settings and click QuickLink Populations.
Select the population according to your requirement
Configure your custom population and in quicklink tab check the box of your custom the box custom QL Name
Now the functional code is in place what about the UI ?
so here comes the steps for it
Now in the Debug Pages of sailpoint, under Configuration Objects, we have to select System configuration add the following line in the HTML and restart the tomcat server which will render the required UI as required.
After all this effort we are successfully able to see the custom icon in the main home page of sailpoint as follows
This is not yet done, we just created the bare bones of it now we have to add the desired workflow and design how to launch it, which will be discussed on PART 2 of this Sailpoint Journey.
