This guide describes the Extensibility features of Infor Enterprise Server.

With the personalization features you change more the look and feel of the application. With the extension features you add functionality to the application.

Tailoring is adding functionality to existing components. Tailoring includes the concept of Customer Defined Fields (CDFs).

Use the Infor LN Extension Modeler to add the logic around CDFs and how to tailor standard components.

A domain extension is used to increase the length of a string field in Infor LN.

A table extension is used to react on the table events such as insert, update and delete for standard LN tables.

A report extension is used to enrich the data that is used as input for the report.

A session extension is used to add fields and commands to the session screen. This applies both to overview screens (grids) and detail screens.

A BOD or BDE extension is used to publish additional fields with a BOD or BDE. You can also process additional fields that are part of an inbound BOD or BDE.

Through the OData REST API extension point, Customer Defined Fields (CDFs) can be used in combination with any related OData REST API. The CDFs of a particular table can be used in all OData REST APIs that contain that table (entity type).

A Menu extension is used to add additional menu items or to hide standard menu items.

A process extension is used to implement additional functionality in the LN application.

After extensions are developed, they can be exported from one environment and imported in another environment.
