Web extensions

Web extensions are JavaScript applications that you can add to reports. Web extensions can be developed for different purposes. Web extensions can be trusted or untrusted.

For example, they can provide enhanced data visualizations or navigation controls.

Web extensions can be trusted or untrusted. Trusted extensions are certified and signed by Infor and can be used in cloud and on-premises environments. In cloud environments, trusted web extensions can be imported on their own or as part of content, including custom content. They can be used in any report.

Untrusted web extensions can be imported in cloud environments only as part of Infor-signed applications. They can be used only in reports that are part of signed applications. Untrusted extensions can be imported and used freely in on-premises environments.

A web extension is a single zip file with a .trusted_webextension or .webextension file extension. The file contains this content:

  • manifest.xml: file containing the web extension metadata
  • thumbnail.png: thumbnail shown in the web extensions gallery and the Application Studio full client
  • JavaScript source file
  • Additional optional files and folders, referenced in the JavaScript source file

The Web Extensions dashboard lists the web extensions that are used in a selected application and displays these properties for each:

  • Thumbnail
  • Unique name
  • Caption
  • Description
  • Author
  • Version
  • Size
  • Last modified
