SMOD organizes attributes in categories. The SMOD Administrator can specify one or more categories and group the presentation of Active Directory attributes into these categories. A category is a convenient grouping of attributes. Categories can be further grouped into groups within each category.
For example, you can have a category with the name of "Personal Information" and then have two groups in the category - "Phone Numbers" and "Addresses" and then organize the attributes that you want users to edit into these two groups within the category.
For administrators, the categories are shown on the left hand side. When a category is clicked, the SMOD administrator can then add, delete, or edit specific attributes in that category.
For users, a category shows up as a separate link on the left hand side of the SMOD user interface. When a user clicks on a category, the user is shown the available attributes for that category grouped as configured by the SMOD administrator.
Categories are loaded when the SMOD application starts. Each category is represented by an XML file located in "<SMOD virtual directory path>\App_Data\SMOD_XML directory. Each file should start with the prefix "ATTR_". The text after the underscore determines the name of the category.
For example, if you wish to have a category named "Phone Numbers", you would create a file called ATTR_Phone Numbers.XML
To add a category, you may copy and paste any of the existing XML files.
Add some more info about this and restart IIS TBD - make add a category a separate section or bookmark
To remove a category, the XML file related to the category needs to be removed from the directory "<SMOD virtual directory path>\App_Data\SMOD_XML". After removing the file, IIS should be re-started to effect the changes.
