List of Mongoose license modules

This table lists all license modules and access capabilities that exist in the interface.

The Modules For Form form lists all forms included in each license module.

License Module Access Capabilities
MGAppBuilder The AppBuilder and AppHub forms.

Users who have need access to the AppBuilder and AppHub forms, either in Mongoose or in the cloud, must have this license assigned. They must also have the MGUserCreatedForms assigned, so they can access forms created in AppBuilder projects.

MGCoreAutomation IDO access.

This license module allows direct access to IDOs by external applications.

Mongoose provides the IDORequest interface to a variety of possible technologies, including SOAP web services, .NET class libraries, XML over HTTP, and COM. Regardless of the technology used to access the Mongoose application, if the external application needs to use core Mongoose IDOs, the user account it employs must have this license module assigned.

Some integrations require this license module to log in to the application and collect data. Infor allows you to request automation licenses equal to the number of MGCoreTranslicenses your company buys.

If you plan to have custom applications connecting to the Mongoose application through the IDO layer, you might need to buy additional MGCoreAutomation licenses to have enough licenses for each application connection. This license module is always assigned to the IDO session type.

MGCoreTrans All core forms in the framework.

The core forms constitute the bulk of the operational forms in Mongoose. This license module is typically assigned to all system users. Access to forms is further controlled by user and group permissions.

MGDataViews DataViews, DataSearch, and Critical Numbers (KPI) forms.

This license module allows access to and use of those forms that make use of DataViews, DataSearch, and Critical Numbers. It also allows developer access to that functionality for the design and development of forms that require it.

MGDeveloper IDO editing forms and SQL table or column editing forms.

This license module allows access to all forms commonly used in the design and development of new forms in Mongoose. It is also required for developers who customize or modify forms at the Site or Vendor level.

This module also allows the use of application forms that start with the prefix "IDO" or "SQL" that are used for development. This license module is always assigned to the Full Client session type.

MGPAAS Mongoose Platform as a Service (PaaS) and user-defined web control development.

This license module is not directly assigned to users. It is used to indicate that the environment is an Infor cloud PaaS multi-tenant environment. With this module, users can create or modify user-defined web controls. This module is only available in PaaS tenants.

MGUsageTrackingOnly All users, all sessions.

This license module is not directly assignable to users. When this module is part of the license, it allows for an unlimited number of users and an unlimited number of sessions. The system bypasses both individual user module assignments and session limit checks.

Security (group and user authorization) settings still apply.

Instead of user and session counts, this module tracks form and IDO usage from all users. The usage data is collected and can then be audited.

MGUserCreatedForms User-created forms.

This license module is not directly assignable to users. It is used for (at least temporary) licensing of forms that Mongoose form or application developers create. This is required, because without this module, any forms created by Mongoose developers would not be available for use by others.

Mongoose automatically assigns new forms and new versions of forms to this module. To make them available to non-developer users, you must authorize them at the User or Group level.

Note:  Mongoose does not add to this module forms that are copied from other forms or that extend other forms. Instead, Mongoose adds those forms to whatever module the original or base form belongs to.

This license module is assigned to the Undefined session type, so it is suitable for Web Form Only and Full Client sessions.

MGUserCreatedIDOs User-created IDOs.

This license module is not directly assignable to users. It is used for (at least temporary) licensing of IDOs that Mongoose form or application developers create. This is required, because without this module, any IDOs created by Mongoose developers would not be available for use by others.

Mongoose automatically assigns new IDOs and IDO extensions to this module. To make them available to other external applications, you must authorize them to the user account those applications use to create a session.

This license module is always assigned to the IDO session type.
