Widget reports

Although specifically designed to be displayed in Application Studio Web Services, Infor LN Analytics Foundation dashboards and reports can be used in Infor Dashboards and Infor Motion Dashboards (Dashboards).

However, for each domain, Infor LN Analytics Foundation includes 3 reports which have been designed specifically for use as widgets in Dashboards.

In Dashboards, the Infor LN Analytics Foundation content connection contains a Widget Reports folder. This has subfolders containing Sales, Finance, and Production widgets. Each widget report is a key metric from the Infor LN Analytics Foundation dashboards: for example, Top 10 Items, Profit and Loss Statement, and Order Distribution.

The widget reports within each domain are linked by multiple parameters. This means, for example, that selecting a company or period in one widget automatically updates other widgets within the domain. You can switch individual parameters on and off so that, for example, widgets update on a change of company, but not on a change of time.

When you first place a report widget in a dashboard, it displays a list of combo boxes from which you can select, for example, Company, Period, or Sales Phase. These enable you to filter your data to display specific values. When you click OK, the combo boxes are hidden, and the widget displays a chart. To select different filters, click the filter icon at the top of the widget to reveal the combo boxes.

To turn off and on the parameters which link the widget reports, select Settings > Widget Communication in Infor Dashboards or Infor Motion Dashboards.
