Note: When users are imported through an LDAP integration task, it may be that some fields are blank. This happens because they may not be required fields in the external directory. In this case, remember to complete them either in the directory or in the system, as this information is used by the system (for example, the e-mail address is used to send notifications). This information will only be imported the first time the person is imported. Information updated after this in the directory will not be updated through future integration tasks.

 

23. Make the necessary changes and click Save. If you want to quit the operation, click Cancel.
