Managing web extensions

Web extensions can be trusted or untrusted. Trusted extensions have the .trusted_webextension file extension and are certified and signed by Infor. Trusted web extensions 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 have the .webextension file exension. 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 set of trusted web extensions is delivered with Application Studio to ..program files\Infor\BI\Application Studio\Web Extension Samples.
