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-based WinStudio "Smart Client" includes Design Mode and runs in a Windows environment and is installed from a CD/download or with Click-Once.
• A web-browser-based WinStudio "Smart Client" includes Design Mode and runs in a Windows environment using Internet Explorer and is installed with Click-Once. This client can be used with Infor Ming.le.
• A browser-based "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 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.
