Note: 
  • The context of the left-side panel can be changed by making a new selection (selecting a different class or related class).
  • The format of the data displayed in the grids is based on the defined Display Preferences. See Modifying user settings.

In Resource Browser, you can select a resource and view the contextual insights using the Context Viewer widget. This feature enhances contextual visibility and operational efficiency by displaying relevant attributes associated with a resource. The contextual attributes are displayed when you click on a resource in the following panels and screen:

  • Resources panel
  • Related Resources panel
  • Grid on the Details screen

You can select a resource to view information related to these contextual attributes on the widget:

  • Supplier and related Accounting Entity
  • Item and related Accounting Entity
  • Warehouse and related Accounting Entity
  • From Warehouse and related Accounting Entity
  • To Warehouse and related Accounting Entity
  • Customer and related Accounting Entity
  • Facility and related Accounting Entity
  • Work Center and related Accounting Entity
  • Structure Type and related Accounting Entity

The contextual attributes are published as a context in the Infor OS Portal through the Context Viewer. Each class comprises a unique set of contextual attributes. When a different resource is selected, the context is automatically updated in the Context Viewer.

Note: 
  • The contextual attributes cannot be published for the Money, Globals, and Process Groups classes.
  • For the classes that contain From and To warehouse information, the application publishes information related to one field (From or To) due to integration limitations.
