Lawson applications

This section describes controls that you can use with Lawson applications.

Control Description
DataPanel Add a query to a mashup. This is similar to the Infor Lawson (S3) Info Browser widget in Infor Smart Office in that you can create a specific query for some data that you often need to retrieve and save it to a location where you can access it easily.

Security settings are applied when the query is processing.

Lawson DataPanels must reference the data definition XML file. The definitions are contained in:
