Defining Metadata for JSON Business Context Messages
Use the Form External Message Entities form to add to, or modify, the business context messages that are sent when a certain form is displayed to the user. These messages are consumed by Infor OS Portal or Infor Ming.le to display drillbacks, by Infor Document Management workflows, and by other context-sensitive apps.
Each form sends a basic JSON message with the form's screenID and logical ID. When the message is generated, an event can optionally append additional BOD reference and entity type metadata, based on the current context (selected object) in the form. You can define the metadata that you want to pass for specific forms.
Note: You must understand this information before you use this form:
- Which types of metadata the selected form includes. You must be aware of the IDOs and properties that are available on the form.
- Which types of metadata each context-sensitive app can consume.
For more information, see the Infor OS Portal or Infor Ming.le Context Engine Development Guide.
