Designer
Technical Specifications
The DSRAZOR Designer (DSRDES) allows you to create, edit and customize Active DIrectory, Windows, eDirectory/NDS and NetWare Applets. These Applets are called DSRs (they were previously called CVMs).
The Designer has three main jobs:
- Designing Screens and their Controls
- Populating Controls with Services
- Refining Actions of Services with Rules
Designing Screens and their Controls
DSRDES provides you the ability to define your screens with the data and placement you desire. You can choose from the following specific screen controls:

Populating Controls with Services
Once you placed your screen control, hover the mouse cursor over it and press the right mouse button. You will be immediately presented with a list of Services available for that type of sceen control.
Each Service comes with online help. To activitate, simply
Most screen controls can only hold one Service. However, the TreeView and the ListView screen controls allow multiple services. The TreeView allows multiple Listing Services (where each Service retrieves a list). And the ListView allows a single Listing Service and multiple Text Services to produce a 'report view'.
Each Listing Service can include one or more <Rules> that refine the list returned. For instance, only include Users in the list and only include those whose UserName does not include the text "admin".
Refining Actions of Services with Rules
Each Listing Service's (where the Service retrieves a list) results can be manipulated by Rules.
The Designer allows standard Boolean logic to be applied to Listing Service results. You can choose from AND, NOT and OR logic. Additionally, you may group rules. Below is an example Rule:
This example Rule says: If the Username returned by the List of Users Service does NOT contain the phrase "admin" and one of the following is TRUE, accept it into the retrieved list.
Next is a simpler rule that says: If the Username returned by the List of Users Service is exactly 8 characters long and starts with "01", accept it into the retrieved list.
All Text Services can be used for building Rules!
