Expandable card format implemented in user interface

The expandable sections that group related fields and controls in Distribution SX.e functions were updated to a card format. Where appropriate, the card format was also added to functional areas that were previously presented in a static display. You can collapse or expand each card using the caret icon in the left corner.

Implementation of the card format improves layout and usability. It also enables additional customization of the UI. Most cards are presented in the expanded state, but you can select the default state through Personalization. In a few functions, such as SA Event Manager Activate Entry, business logic determines when a card is expanded or collapsed. You cannot personalize those cards.

Expandable cards are included in the WYSIWYG designer in the Extension Enablement Kit. The Extension Enablement Toolkit is part of the standard product, but requires an advanced understanding of CSS and JavaScript to fully utilize it. We recommend that you engage Infor Consulting Services to either learn how to use the Extension Enablement Toolkit, or to have their developers use it to extend Distribution SX.e for your business requirements.

Note: The user-defined fields that you set up in SA Administrator Options-System are displayed in the User Fields card in the appropriate function. This includes Inquiry, Setup, Entry, and Administration functions where the User Fields card is displayed on the Custom tab or another screen. We recommend that any other fields resulting from custom modifications are included in a different card.
