What is Lawson Design Studio?

Lawson Design Studio is a browser-based drag and drop graphical development environment which can be used to customize or enhance Lawson applications in a variety of ways.

The Design Studio is made up of these stand-alone components.

• Custom Page Designer, a tool to create custom pages. These could be your own gateway to Lawson or could be used for a wide variety of other purposes.

• UI Designer, a tool to customize Lawson forms or create new forms.

• Wizard Designer, a simple-to-use tool that you can use to automate form actions (like add, delete, inquire) and create help text specific to your site for a Lawson form.

Built into the Design Studio are these additional features:

• API Builder: Retrieve and send Lawson data through the Internet Object Services engines. APIs created using the API Builder can be pasted into other applications that you create such as Crystal reports or VB applications.

• Scripting environment: The Design Studio includes a JavaScript development environment for adding functionality specific to your needs to a form or custom page. Within the environment Lawson provides an Objects Viewer that makes it easy to understand and access Lawson objects when you create a script.
