AD Info works in conjunction with the "editors" capability of AD WhitePages to ensure your directory information is up-todate while reducing the cost of directory administration and communications. When your directory is accurate, users are more productive. Administrators can eliminate hours of work by providing a self-service tool for end-users which translates to value for your organization both for your users and for the company.
AD Info supports flexible management of the information being entered into your Active Directory and ADAM by utilizing the centralized directory attribute management provided in the AD Self-Service Suite. The AD Self-Service Suite allows centralized management of how your organization uses Active Directory and ADAM attributes in any of the AD Self-Service products. Policy can be defined for which attributes may be used, how they are represented, assigned validators, and possible selectable values for fields like department, title, etc…
These organizationally-defined values are available when creating AD Info Views. Users are assigned the appropriate AD Info View controlling the fields they may update as well as the default values they must select from.
