Embedding Birst in Infor Ming.le pages

Before you can embed reports, you must set up the Infor Birst SAML configuration and set up Infor Birst as an Infor Ming.le service provider. See the Embedding Configuration section.

Review the Integrating with SAML topic before proceeding with this procedure.

After Infor Birst is configured and Infor Ming.le is set up, you have the option to embed reports on an Infor Ming.le page using one of these techniques:

Embed Visualizer reports in Infor Ming.le using a web page widget
Embed Birst reports using an Infor Ming.le application

Prerequisites

To configure Infor Birst SAML, you must be an Infor Birst Account Administrator.
Caution:
Users must be members of the same Infor Birst Account where you configure SAML.
Users must be provisioned in Infor Birst, and given Visualizer or Designer access privileges so that they can view reports in Infor Ming.le. Similarly, must have access to the Birst Dashboard feature to embed an entire dashboard.

Infor Ming.le

To configure service providers in Infor Ming.le, the Infor Ming.le user must have the IFSApplicationAdmin role.
To have access to an Infor homepage, the user must belong to the HOMEPAGES-User role.

This section provides a step-by-step guide to configure Infor Birst for embedding content, such as Dashboards or Visualizer reports, onto an Infor Ming.le web page.

At a high level, the SSO connection between Infor Mingle and Infor Birst can be configured in three steps:

Set up a dummy service provider in Infor Ming.le to get configuration information to configure Birst SAML
Set up the Birst SAML Configuration, and get the information to configure Birst as an Infor Ming.le Service Provider.
With the Birst Entity ID retrieved from the Birst SAML configuration, set up the authentic service provider for Infor Ming.le based on the information that is provided during the Birst SAML configuration.

Infor Integration

Birst Visualizer reports embedded on an Infor Ming.le page can now drill back to another Infor Ming.le app page.

Infor Ming.le users can now drill back to other Infor Ming.le applications from a Birst report. This is configured by setting up report level drill paths in Visualizer reports. For more information, please refer to the Infor Ming.le help resources.
