Configuring the Infor Ming.le Manager Navigator widget

The actions and navigation links available in the Infor OS Portal or Infor Ming.le Manager Navigator widget can be configured using the Configuration Console.
Note: Before you can configure the Manager Navigator widget, you must create a configuration for the ManagerNavigatorWidget list on the Employee business class. See "Configuring existing lists" in Infor Landmark Technology's Configuration Console Web UI User Guide.
Configuration options for the Infor OS Portal or Infor Ming.le Manager Navigator widget are:
  • adding actions
  • removing actions
  • renaming actions
  • adding navigation links
  • changing a simple action to a full action
Note: Simple actions contain only a few required fields for ease of use.

Use this procedure to configure the Infor OS Portal or Infor Ming.le Manager Navigator widget.

  1. Select Configuration Console > Configuration > Master.
  2. Open the ManagerNavigatorWidget from the Master Configuration List.
  3. In the Edit panel, click Edit to open the Edit LPL window.
  4. To add an action, specify the Lawson Pattern Language (LPL) for that action in the Actions section. For example, to add the Terminate action, specify action is Terminate on a separate line. The configured action must exist on the Employee business class or be accessible through a relation from Employee, such as WorkAssignment. If accessing an action using a relation, use this syntax: action is EmployeeRelationName.RelatedActionName
  5. To remove an action, in the Actions section, delete the LPL for the action that begins with "action is..."
  6. To rename an action, in the Actions section, add a label is line below the action is line and indent it. For example, to rename the Terminate action, specify action is Terminate and, indented below it, label is EndEmployment.
  7. To add a navigation link, add a line beginning with the words "navigation is" to the Actions section and specify the LPL navigation name defined in the Employee business class. For example, to add a link to the employee's emergency contacts, specify navigation is EmergencyContactsNav. Only navigations from the Employee business class can be added at this time.
  8. To change a simple action to a full action, remove the word "Simple" from the action name. For example, to use the full Add Work Assignment action, remove Simple from the SimpleAddWorkAssignment action name. This supplies the action with all the available fields rather than a simplified subset.
  9. Click Submit.
This example shows how LPL for actions should be specified in the Actions section of the Edit LPL window:
action is Terminate
     label is "EndEmployment"
action is EmployeeRelationName.RelatedActionName
navigation is EmergencyContactsNav
