About Application Clients
Forms are accessed by means of a client. Users can access forms in the Mongoose-based application using any of these clients:
- The Windows client includes Design Mode, runs in a Windows environment, and is installed from a CD, download, or with click-once.
- A web-browser-based Windows client includes Design Mode, runs in a Windows environment using Internet Explorer, and is installed with click-once. This client can be used with Infor OS Portal or Infor Ming.le®.
- The web client is an HTML5 client that includes Design Mode, can run in all common browsers on all popular devices and can be used with Infor OS Portal or Infor Ming.le.
- A lightweight web client is a specialized version of the web client that is optimized to run on certain mobile devices.
Web clients must be accessed by means of specially formatted URLs.
