    Hi,

    I'm doing displayName composition in AD.

    Firstname Middlename Lastname - CompanyName

    Problem is, that only contractors have CompanyName populated in HR. Export for users that does not have CompanyName pupulated does not work, i guess this is "the way it is"

    So what i would like to do is: populate CompanyName for all users.

    • If CompanyName present, flow %value%, else flow "constant"   <- Pseudo sync rule

    Is this possible?

    I don't want to do separate sync rule for employee's vs. contractors.

    Yes, you can do this by using the IIF function in your synchronization rule.
    Here is a link to the reference.

    Thanks Marcus, i guess the tricky part is doing the "Not NULL" part?

    IIF(IsPresent(CompanyName),Trim,ReplaceString(CompanyName, "Constant") <--

    I'm not sure I understand what your issue is.
    Could you please clarify?

    Issue is that only contracters have populated CompanyName from HR and i need to do displayName in AD. displayName for contractors needs to contain CompanyName for security reasons.

    If i make outbound sync rule; "FirstName MiddleName LastName - CompanyName" the rule is only applied to users that has CompanyName populated. So employee's will not get updated displayName.

    Therefore my plan is to Populate CompanyName for everyone, by flowing constant to users that does not have CompanyName populated.

    Makes sense?

    Just to add. The above is the means to populate CompanyName for all users, even though some doesn't have the attribute populated in HR.

    This is the means to update DisplayName attribute in AD, where only Contrators have the " - CompanyName" part.

    • IIF(Eq(CompanyName,"CustomString"),ReplaceString(CompanyName,"CustomString","")," - "+Trim(CompanyName))
