Customizing protected Infor applications

Infor commercial applications include analytic applications such as Infor Financials & Supply Management.

Infor protected applications are identified, in the Applications dashboard, by the value Protected in the Customization property.

This table shows the protected commercial applications and their unique names:

Application name	Application unique name
Infor Financials & Supply Management	BIFSM
Infor Mobile Supply Chain Management	MSCM
Infor HR Talent	GHR
Infor Integrated Business Planning	BIIBP
Infor Distribution Business Analytics	BICSI

With the exception of OLAP databases, Infor content in commercial applications is protected. Protection prevents you from deleting or amending content, and from changing permissions on commercial roles. But you can, for example, add reports and dashboards.

With sufficient permissions, you can create new folders and add widgets from the widget catalog to create new dashboards. Or, you can use Self-Service to create your own charts. You can combine widgets from different applications in one dashboard if you create content connections to those applications.

You can store custom content within the folders of the application. In this case, the custom content inherits the permissions that are predefined on the folder. Or, to manage the permissions yourself, store custom content in your own folders.

If you use Application Studio to create reports, you use must match the version of the application in the cloud. You can download the correct version of the Application Studio and Application Engine Process Editor clients, and the associated connection profile, from the Client Access dashboard in EPM Administration.

If you store your customized content in the folders of the application, it inherits the permissions of those folders. Alternatively, create your own folders and manage the permissions yourself.

In Application Studio, Design mode is disabled for protected content. But you can copy protected content and customize the copy.
