Designer

Designer is available in on premises and single tenant installations as the modeling tool for Infor Budgeting & Planning and for custom applications. Designer is not available in multi-tenant Infor Cloud environments.

In on-premises environments, Designer databases must be created manually by using a script.

See "Creating a new Designer database" in the "Designer" section for further information.

Be aware of these differences between Designer in a classic BI 11.0 installation and in Infor d/EPM Platform services:

• It is no longer possible to manage several models in a single Designer database. Use only one model per Designer database in new projects.
• In Infor BI 11.0, rules were typically developed with rule-building features in OLAP Administration. Rules are now created in d/EPM Administration, using the Edit OLAP Database dashboard. The resulting rule expressions can be then copied to Designer.
• The user, roles, and permission management user interface has been removed from Designer.

  User and permission management can be done only in d/EPM Administration, using the User Management dashboards.

  OLAP data roles are created and managed in d/EPM Administration, using the OLAP Data Roles dashboard.

• Role or user synchronization works only from Repository to Designer.
