# IndexedItemNormalizationDefinitionType (Complex Type)

### Namespace: http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/common/common-3

Definition of item normalization (for custom indexing).

Item Summary
Name | Type | Multiplicity | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
name | property string | [0,1] | Name of the index (normalization).
default | property boolean | [0,1] | Is this the default index (normalization) for the given item? It is necessary to specify it only if there is more than one normalization defined.
indexedNormalizedItemName | property string | [0,1] | Overrides the generated name for the indexed item (original item name + normalization name).
steps | container NormalizationStepsType | [0,1] | How the indexed value is computed? The default is using system-defined polystring normalization method.

- ### Items

  - #### name

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Display order:

    Name of the index (normalization). It is appended to the item name. Usually it can be left unspecified, because it is derived from the normalization step(s).

  - #### default

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Display order:

    Is this the default index (normalization) for the given item? It is necessary to specify it only if there is more than one normalization defined.

  - #### indexedNormalizedItemName

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Display order:

    Overrides the generated name for the indexed item (original item name + normalization name). Should not be normally needed.

  - #### steps

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Display order:

    How the indexed value is computed? The default is using system-defined polystring normalization method.
