Application and widget library components

The Library contains application-specific components and widgets. The widget library includes a mix of generic tools (such as a calendar and clock) and tools designed specifically for your application (such as the Favorites tool).

To add a library component to your Infor Rich Client canvas, click Start > Library, double-click the component (or highlight the component and click Add To Canvas).

Application components and widgets are retained on your Infor Rich Client canvas when you exit the application. To remove them from your Infor Rich Client canvas, you must close them.

If you have multiple spaces, you can add different library components to different spaces.

Infor Rich Client provides the application-specific components, such as:
