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 client includes Design Mode, runs in a Windows environment, and is installed from a CD, download, or with click-once.
  • A web-browser-based Windows client includes Design Mode, runs in a Windows environment using Internet Explorer, and is installed with click-once. This client can be used with Infor Ming.le®.
  • The 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.
