Standard insights

Standard insight groups are predefined groups of widgets that can be added to the smart panel within an application or an application workspace. Insights provide relevant data and help perform common tasks when working in an application.

Standard insights provide predefined content that helps users get started. You can enable and disable the Standard Insights feature in Widget Settings.

Standard insights are managed by Infor and cannot be created, edited, or deleted in the administration tool. However, you can:

  • Create and publish a copy of a standard insight to customize it.
  • Control access to a standard insight by assigning permissions to users, roles, and functional roles.
    Note: Changes to the permissions of a standard insight affect all users and applications that use that insight.

Infor may publish updated versions of standard insights at any time. To not receive updates to a standard insight, create and publish a copy of the insight. Published copies can be edited independently of the original standard insight.

On the Standard Insights page, you can:

  • Search, sort, and filter the list of insights.
  • Update the list of insights to include the latest changes from the registry.
  • Use the static toolbar in the Actions menu to perform actions that are available for all insights.
  • Use the expanded toolbar in the Actions menu to perform actions available for selected insights. The toolbar is dynamically aligned to the selected insights.

When one or more filters are in use, There are active filters is displayed at the bottom of the list next to a Clear all option, available for deactivating the filters.

The table shows actions that are available from the Actions menu:
