Supported JavaScript functions

Not all the JavaScript functions included in the Workplace API are supported inInfor Smart Office. In general, all JavaScript calls that affect another IBrix or communication between IBrixes are not supported in Infor Smart Office.

The result of calling an unsupported JavaScript method in the Infor Smart Office will be that you recieve null, false or nothing happens all depending of the type function call. The JavaScript for these calls are located on the M3 Workplace server in the location /javascript/mango/QuickSwitchMessage.js.

Feel tree to add alerts if you want another behavior on your local installation.

The following is a list of all supported JavaScript methods for IBrix in Workplace 6.0 and higher. Each method is followed by a comment if this is implemented in the Infor Smart Office. The main limitation is that an IBrix cannot do the following:

  • Communicate with another IBrix (read data or posting data using JavaScript)

  • Close another open IBrix or switch focus.

There is always the option of adding a shortcut to the Workplace installation so that users can run the IBrix in Workplace.
