Widget options

The Responsive Form Builder allows authorized users to create forms in Runtime Mode. Among the form types you can create are widgets, which are designed to be smaller and to function within an Infor Ming.le™ environment. Widgets are typically simple, designed with a single, focused purpose in mind.

All widget options have these characteristics:

All widget forms are created as "FormOnly" forms.
As a rule, only two property values can be displayed. Exceptions are noted in the table below.
All widget forms include standard Minimize, Maximize, and Close buttons.
On many of the widget forms, information is displayed using tiles (tile forms).
This means that, when the widget is created, the wizard actually creates two forms: the widget form and an accompanying tile form. Both are launched when the widget is created.
Note: When created, the tile form typically appears blank. Unless you know what you are doing with tile forms, we recommend that you leave the tile form alone and simply close it.

This table lists and describes the various widget form options available with the Responsive Form Builder:


Widget template	Notes/Comments
Graph	This template creates the widget with a graph that reprsesents the data from two properties in the IDO. The graph is generated as a line graph, with the first property represented on the X-axis and the second property represented on the Y-axis. Alternative graph or chart types can be implemented by modifying the form in Web Designer or Design Mode, using the Data Source > Binding settings.
Grid	This template creates the widget as a simple grid that can display up to two property values. The property names display in the header row, and the data displays on the rows of the grid.
Grid with Header	This template is similar to the "Grid" option, but adds a banner bar ("header") at the top of the form. This banner, by default, is labeled as "Form Name", but you can use the Web Designer or Design Mode to change it to whatever you want.
Grid with Header and Actions	This template is basically the same as the "Grid with Header" option. The difference is that, when you open this type of form in FormOnly mode, "Filter-In-Place", Save, Add, and Delete icons/buttons are displayed; and you can modify and save editable values.
Grid with Search	This template is similar to the "Grid" option, but adds a Search field at the top. This Search field allows the user to search for specified strings in the data. Note: When the form is first created, the Search is not functional. To be able to use the Search functionality, you must perform a follow-up procedure. See Enabling Search on a widget form. Be aware that, even after the Search functionality has been enabled, the user can search on only one of the two properties represented in the grid. The other property is ignored during Search.
List	This template creates a list in which each entry can contain up to two associated property values. The data is displayed using tiles. Note: The only difference between this template and the "List v2" template is the styling used for the data display. Functionally, they are the same.
List with Icons	This template creates a list that displays an image alongside up to two property values for each entry in the list. This template can take up to three property values: The first property on the Field Selection page is reserved for the image, which must be a graphics file of type GIF, JPG, PNG, SVG, or BMP. The image might be for a product item or a corporate logo, for example. Images can be imported or selected from the library from the Web Designer. The other two properties are used for the property values to display for each list entry, similar to the basic "List" template.
List v2	This template creates a list in which each entry can contain up to two associated property values. The data is displayed using tiles. Note: The only difference between this template and the "List" template is the styling used for the data display. Functionally, they are the same.
ListWithIcons	This template is similar to the "List With Icons" template. Functionally, they are the same. The primary differences include the styling used to display the data and the fact that the Infor corporate logo (which can be changed, in the Web Designer or Design Mode) displays at the top of the list.
WidgetInput	This template is used primarily to add data records to an IDO collection. You can use up to five input fields to collect the data to add. When this widget opens, by default it displays the data for the first record in the IDO collection. Whether fields are editable or required (or whatever) depends on how the property is specified in the original IDO collection. To create a new record for the IDO collection, click Add, provide the requested information, and then click Save.
