Landmark Interface: Overview
This section provides a high-level review of the tools available for working with the Landmark framework and applications.
1) This section does not cover features that are part of Infor OS Portal, the interface that Landmark runs under. Information about the Portal is available in Documentation Central (docs.infor.com).
2) This section refers to Version 3 of the Landmark interface. If you are using an earlier version, your interface might not look as described here.
The Landmark interface is intended to provide quick access to frequently used features and to make lesser used features easy to locate when needed.
Role access and feature enablement can help to make your Landmark interface streamlined and easier to use. It also means that some features described in this chapter do not apply to you.
Role access
When Landmark applications were installed at your site, managers determined which Roles were required. (Roles can be thought of as jobs or positions.) For example, your company payroll department might have several clerks, a supervisor, and a manager. In this case, the roles that would be set up might be Payroll Clerk, Payroll Supervisor, and Accounts Manager with each role being assigned access to the appropriate system applications and data. Each role is, in turn, assigned to Actors. (Actors can be thought of as users.)
Feature enablement
Some Landmark interface and application features are "opt-in," meaning that your company has made a decision to use them or not. Features that have not been enabled at your site or for you as an actor cannot be accessed from your Landmark interface.
