Using In-Context BI
Use this context application to view Business Intelligence reports that are specific to the Infor application page displayed. When the application supports In-Context BI, the context application receives in-context messages from the application and displays reports based (filtered) on those messages.
To understand how to use the In-Context BI context application, review this information:
- Reports are displayed in a drop-down box based on the application page. The first report in the list is displayed and filtered based on the in-context messages. For example, a report may be filtered on Customer or Item if the application is sending messages based on these entities.
- To navigate quickly to the next report or the previous report available for the current application page, click the arrow icons on either side of the report name.
- The context application has
a toolbar that contains
and
actions
and a refresh icon.
- To maximize the report and view it in a larger window, click .
- Reports are refreshed based on the application page and the records selected on the page. To prevent the reports from being refreshed, click . To reconnect, click once more.
- If an in-context message is sent while the context application is disconnected, the light bulb icon lights up when the right navigation panel is in expanded mode. When the panel is in collapsed mode, a red dot is displayed next to the icon for the context application. The red dot indicates that in-context messages are available for the report. When the navigation panel is expanded, the report is updated for the in-context messages even when in disconnected mode.
- Click the refresh icon to refresh a report when in disconnected mode without reconnecting the context application or at any time to refresh the context application.
