Filling in Forms and Using Form Buttons
There are specific characters and character combinations that require special attention when filling in Property Administration forms. The back slash (\) character, for example, is used as an escape character in LDAP entries. To use a back slash in a form, you must enter two back slashes (\\).
While filling in forms, keep in mind that if the Property Administration utility remains idle for too long, the user is required to send authentication information again.
Some Property Administration buttons only appear once a property has been added to a form.
The following buttons appear when using the Property Administration utility:
