Extensions menu overview

The toolkit is part of the standard product, but it requires an advanced understanding of JavaScript to fully use it. We recommend that you engage Infor Consulting Services to learn how to use the toolkit, or to have their developers extend Distribution SX.e for your business requirements.

You can access the Extensions menu from the navigation menu bar if your operator security permits it. From the menu, you can access these components of the Extension Enablement Toolkit:

• Developer Extension

  Select Extensions > Edit > This View to open Developer Extension tool directly. If the page has more than one view, you can select More to select the view to edit.

• SA Extension Administration

  Select Extensions > New to open SA Extension Administration to create a new view, JavaScript, or CSS extension. You can also access SA Extension Administration directly from the main Distribution SX.e menu.

• Infor Distribution REST service help

  Select Extensions > Tools > Rest API Help to open API documentation for Distribution SX.e in a separate browser tab. The REST Service help contains the same information as the Swagger documentation, but it is for viewing only.

• Swagger documentation

  Select Extensions > Tools > Swagger Doc to open Swagger API documentation for Distribution SX.ein the Swagger user interface. You can perform calls from the Swagger UI.

  See the Infor CloudSuite Distribution Configuration Guide or the Infor Distribution SX.e Integration Guide for Infor OS.

• Source Viewer

  Select Extensions > Tools > Source Viewer to view the source code within the user interface. The source code is required for developing most JavaScript extensions.

• Debug Mode or Standard Mode

  Select Extensions > Tools > Debug Mode to run Distribution SX.e with unminified JavaScript source code for debugging. In the unminified JavaScript code, you can set breakpoints and step through it line by line. Select Extensions > Tools > Standard Mode to exit the debug mode.
