Decide what Properties you want to get back after you perform your search search.

 

 

I will use Get User method, which requires a Label as input.

I tested this in the Smart Object Tester Utility

 

 

I will get back FQN, Name, Description, Display Name, Email, Manager, and Object SID.

 

 

I will use Display Name as the display in this example

Create an Item View. I chose not to use the UMUser SmartObject as the data source, since I want to get the data to save somewhere else. (I won't show saving the data in this example)

 

 

 

 

 

Drag and drop the picker control on top of the form.

 

 

In the Properties Pane

 

 

Click on the SmartObject for the Data Source

 

 

Choose the UMUser SmartObject,

 

 

Get Users Method

 

 

Filter the properties that you want.

 

 

I choose the Name as the Identifier

 

 

And the DisplayName as the Display Propterty.
