What must the attributes map in a report contain at a minimum?

The key requirement for attributes mapping in a report is to include a report definition. A report definition outlines the overall structure and purpose of the report, specifying how data should be organized and presented. It encompasses the criteria that dictate how the report captures relevant information, including what data sources to pull from and how to format the output. This foundational stage is essential to ensure that the report aligns with user needs and technical parameters, enabling stakeholders to derive meaningful insights from the data presented.

The other components, while important, serve different roles within the reporting framework. Field definitions specify the exact nature and meaning of the data fields used but do not directly define how they are organized in the report. Data mapping focuses on the relationship between the report fields and the data source attributes, which is crucial for ensuring accuracy but also comes after the report definition is established. Source attributes pertain to the fields that exist within the underlying data sources, which are necessary for populating the report but again, depend upon a defined report structure. Therefore, the existence of a clear report definition is vital as a starting point for any report within SailPoint IdentityIQ.
