ION Desk overview

ION Desk is a browser-based interface that you use to configure and monitor all Infor ION services.

ION Desk consists of a web page that can show multiple application pages.

You can switch the desk to your language by changing these settings:

  • The language and locale of Infor OS to your language in the user settings.
  • The language settings of the browser to your language.

The ION Desk runs in Infor Ming.le. The user's Common Name and the current tenant name are displayed in the upper right corner of Infor Ming.le.

For ION Desk, all resolutions of 1280x1024 and higher are supported. Collapsing the menu and the left-hand-side header panel provides an optimal user experience.

Note: Excessive zooming, more than 100%, is not supported.

In the upper part of the ION Desk, this hamburger icon is displayed:

Click this icon to open the ION Desk menu, which contains entries to the application pages.

About ION

Most pages are on level two in the hierarchy. For example, to open the File Templates page, select Connect > File Templates.

Some pages are on level three in the hierarchy. For example, to open the Archived Monitors page, select Monitors & Workflows > Archive > Archived Monitors.

Accessing the Reports page

If you have generated one or more reports from ION Desk, the hamburger icon gets a blue icon on top (“new” indicator). If you open the menu, a new entry, Reports, is displayed in the top of the menu. A counter next to Reports shows how many reports are generated. Select Reports to navigate to the Reports Overview page.

Types of pages

There are two types of overview pages in the ION Desk: Tiles and Grids. The tiles are used for modeling objects. The grids are used for the status overview pages. The home page is also tiles-based. The tiles on the home page represent entries to other manage pages.
