Using the Context Viewer
The Context Viewer is a context application designed to help developers intercept and analyze the context messages sent from the applications.
The Context Viewer displays the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) messages sent in context from the application and displays them in two formats on tabs in the context application.
The first tab, JSON Object View, contains a version of the JSON string that is parsed, formatted, and easy to read.
The second tab, JSON Text View, contains the JSON message in the format sent by the application.
At the bottom of the context application, the Status is displayed. If the status displays Not Subscribed for any messages, the context application is not receiving messages in context.
This table shows the currently supported message types:
| Description of the message type | Message type |
|---|---|
| Infor Business Context | inforBusinessContext |
| Contact (person, company, e-mail address) | contactContext |
| Set Shortcut Context | setShortcutContext |
| Add Favorite | addFavoriteContext |
| Show Favorite (for internal use only) | showFavoriteContext |
| Context Help | contextHelp |
| Text Message | textMessage |
| Search Request | searchRequest |
| Business Search | businessSearch |
| Contextual URL | contextualURL |
