Creating the new Infor Lawson (S3) project and application

  1. Select Designer File > New > New Project.
  2. Specify a name for the project. This file will be an organizer for all other files, .xaml files, images and so on, associated with the mashup. It will be saved with the extension .manifest.
  3. Specify a name that describes what you want the mashup to do.
  4. Click Save. The Designer canvas is displayed.
  5. In the Properties tab, specify this information:
    Name
    Specify a name to the project. This is an important field. It contains the name that is used to associate all .xaml files with the project and it follows the project throughout its lifecycle. Ensure that the name is meaningful to you and others who need to use the mashup. Use alphanumeric characters only, no white spaces and no special characters. Do not include versioning information here.
    Author
    Specify your name, initials or other identifier.
    Description
    Specify a description of the project to provide quick, explanatory information.
    Version
    Specify a version level for the project. Use only two to four numbers, for example, 1.0, 1.0.0, or 1.0.0.0.
    Profile
    Select the Smart Office profile that is associated through LifeCycle Manager.
  6. Click Add to select an existing profile or click Create to create a new one. If you click Create you will be prompted to assign a name to the profile. By default, profiles are stored on your local machine in C:\YourDocumentLocation\XAMLprofile.xml.
  7. Click Save when you are finished selecting options. By default the .manifest project file will be stored in C:\YourDocumentLocation\XAML. You can select a different location when you save the project.
