Custom Column in Request Track page in OIM using Backing Bean

In this post lets understand how to create custom column in Request track page
End result looks like below:

1. Create backing bean using ADF Project and deploy to oim server via starter pack( create a jar of your ADF project and copy the jar to starter pack and deploy to server. reference link Deployment of starter pack)
   #{backingBeanScope.RequesterUserNameInRequestTrackPage.requesterUserName}

Backing bean code is as below : the below code returns you the requester user login

/**

* Class   : RequesterUserNameInRequestTrackPage

*  Description: This class loads the requester user loginin Requester track page

}

2. Create sandbox in identity console and add new column

Create new sandbox in identity console activate it and navigate to request track page

Select the table and choose + button 

Select Web Components

Choose table column

Cut and paste the new column into correct place

select new column and click on edit

Label the new column

Add output text field into the column

Choose output text from web components output text

Re arrange the column place in the table

select the table and click on edit

Select Output text value and click on edit and update value EL Expression

#{backingBeanScope.RequesterUserNameInRequestTrackPage.requesterUserName}

Export and publish the sandbox

We are done with the implementation check the new field in Request track page :)
