Accessing search providers directly from a Lawson Form

Using this Lawson feature as enabled by your system administrator, you can access third-party search providers from within a form context (right-click) menu.

From within a form, when you right-click on a populated field. (You might have to perform an Inquire.) When you select Search, the search providers enabled at your site are available for selection. Select a search provider. It launches a search for the field information.

Note: If Infor Enterprise Search is installed at your site, Find in Enterprise Search also appears for selection from the context menu.

By default the common third-party providers, Bing, Google, and Yahoo, are available. Your system administrator might have disabled some of these or provided access to others.

Perform these steps to launch a search provider directly from a form:

  1. With the form from which you want to launch a search open, move into a key field on the form and then right-click.
  2. Select a search provider from the context menu.
  3. Select the provider to launch the search.

    The results list opens in Infor Smart Office.
