ION Homepages widgets

Using the Homepages application that runs in Infor Ming.le, you can create and configure ION statistics widgets to monitor ION and its services such as ION Connect or Activities.

You can use the business process widgets to manage alerts, tasks and notifications and to view the workflow status diagram. You can use the Alarms widget to create user-defined monitors that generate an alert when the business condition is met.
