 Overview

Chapter 1: Overview

Infor Ming.le-LN Plug-in is the web-based client user interface for various Infor applications, such as
Infor LN and Infor LN Enterprise Modeler.
Infor Ming.le-LN Plug-in requires Infor LN and Enterprise Server 10.3 or later.
Infor Ming.le-LN Plug-in runs in a page in Infor Ming.leTM.
The LN page in Infor Ming.le includes a side navigation bar and an application panel to activate the
display of LN sessions.
On the right side of the page is a collapsible panel that hosts Infor Ming.le context applications, such
as Posts and Related Information. Most of these context applications are not specific to the Infor
Ming.le-LN Plug-in. They are available in all applications in Infor Ming.le. See the Infor Ming.le User
Guide.

Side navigation bar

This table shows the elements in the side navigation bar:

Search field This field has a magnifier icon and is located at the top of the side navigation
bar.
Specify, for example, a part of a session name or session code.
To search for multiple consecutive words, enclose the search string in double
quotes. For example, specify "Item Data".
The search only returns menu items, such as sessions. The search does not
return menu folders.
Note:
• By default, the search is performed on all levels in the navigation menu
tree.
• To search within a subtree of the navigation menu, right-click the desired
node of the navigation menu and select Search from Node.

Menu bar in sessions

The menu bar of a session contains command buttons and menu buttons.
In various sessions, records are displayed per group. In those sessions, the buttons to navigate between
groups are displayed at the top of the session. The buttons to navigate between records in the same
group are displayed directly above the grid.
Note: In sessions with a grid, a check box with a down arrow button is displayed above the grid. Use
this check box, and the options in the down arrow button's menu, to select or unselect all records in
the grid.

 Keyboard shortcuts

Chapter 2: Keyboard shortcuts

This section describes the keyboard shortcuts to navigate or to invoke commands.

In LN UI, these modes are distinguished:
• Command mode
• Input mode
During command mode, the keyboard shortcuts are recognized. This is the default mode when a
session starts. While in command mode, press ? to show a help page with information about the
supported keyboard shortcuts. You also can open this help page through the Help button's menu.
The input mode is activated when you move the focus to an input field using the mouse or by pressing
Tab. Command mode is entered again when you perform one of these actions:
• Move the focus to a non-input field.
• Press Esc.
Pressing Esc again while in command mode has no effect.

Keyboard shortcuts for form commands

Form commands are defined in LN. The keyboard shortcuts for these commands are in two ranges:
• Ctrl+Shift+<letter>
• Ctrl+F<n>, where <n> = 1 to 12.
These key combinations may conflict with shortcut keys that are used by internet browsers. Therefore
they are mapped to different keyboard shortcuts.
This table shows the mapping for the keyboard shortcuts for form commands:

• For <n> = 10, <k> = 0.
• For <n> = 11, <k> = Shift+1.
• For <n> = 12, <k> = Shift+2.

 Working with LN UI

Chapter 3: Working with LN UI

This section describes how to work with LN UI.

The Options menu

The Options menu contains these options:

Run Program (g then r)

Starts the Run Program dialog, where you can start sessions.
To start a session from this dialog:
1 Specify the desired session code.
2 Click OK.
Note:
• In the Open field, you can select previously started sessions from the list.
• If the Open in new Window check box is selected, the session starts in a separate, floating,
window. If this check box is cleared, the session starts in the Infor Ming.le application panel.

Change Company (g then c)

Starts the Change Company session.
See Changing the company number on page 24.

Change Current Role

Starts the Change Current Role (ttdsk2009m000) session.
This option is only available if your LN administrator assigned roles to your user account. A role contains
personalization settings, such as session personalizations and menu personalizations, for a specific
group of users.
If you switch to another role, a different set of personalizations is activated. Therefore menus and
sessions may look different. For example, if you restart a session after you switched to another role,
the session may contain more, or less, fields.

Infor LN UI User Guide | 17

 Working with LN UI

Your current role is displayed in the status bar at the bottom of your browser window.
For details about personalizations, see Personalizing menus on page 32 and Personalizing sessions
on page 28.

Personalize Menu
Starts the Personalize Menu (ttadv9205m000) session.
See Personalizing menus on page 32.

Change Data Language

This option is only available if Multi Language Fields Support is enabled on your LN server. See "Multi
language application data" in the Enterprise Server Web Help.
If you select Change Data Language the Change Data Language (ttdsk2006m000) session starts.
You can use this session to switch to another data language. In this way, you can view and edit data
in multiple languages in sessions that are multi language enabled.
If you change the data language, the next session you start will run in the new data language. The
sessions that were already opened remain in the old data language.
Note:
• LN UI shows the current data language in the status bar of each session, next to the company
number.
• You can only switch to another data language if the Allow Changing of Data Languages check
box in your user data template properties on the LN server (User Data Template (ttams1110m000)
session) is selected.

Activate Trace Mode

This option opens a new window showing the message flow between browser and LN UI web server.
The contents can be downloaded for troubleshooting purposes.

Settings
This option opens a new window to manage the user settings.
See User profiles on page 20.

Debug and Profile 4GL

Use this option if you want to test software components that are checked out to an Infor LN Studio
activity.
If this option is selected, the Debug and Profile 4GL (ttadv1123m000) session starts. Use this session
to select the activity that contains the component you want to test. See the session help and the LN
Studio documentation.

Infor LN UI User Guide | 18

 Working with LN UI

Non-interrupting Message Mode

Use this option to change the message mode:
• If this option is selected, LN uses the Non-interrupting message mode: Data you enter in a field
automatically validates when you move to a new field. LN shows the messages in a separate
messages window without interruption to your work.
This separate messages window is not automatically displayed. When a new message arrives, a
blinking icon is displayed in the status bar of the session. To open the message window, click this
icon; alternatively, press g and then press i.
• If this option is not selected, LN uses the Interactive message mode: Data you enter in a field
automatically validates when you move to a new field. LN displays any messages prompted by a
field's validation in a message box. You must click OK to close the message box and continue
your work.

System Message (g then y)

Displays the current System Message.

Debug bshell
Starts the Run time debugging of bshell (ttstpbshdebug) session.
Use this session to set or modify the various bshell debug options on runtime. See the session help.
These bshell debug options can also be set before runtime in the Command field in the Bshell
Environment dialog. To do this, you must modify the configuration settings of the application in your
user profile.
See User profiles on page 20.

Restart (Ctrl+Del)
Restarts LN UI. In this way you can easily log off and log on again. You are not prompted for your user
name and password. This is useful, for example, after a change in the user data when the bshell must
restart to load new settings.
Note:
• If any programs, such as LN sessions, are running, the system asks you for confirmation.
• Running programs are closed.
• Any unsaved changes will be lost.

About
Starts a dialog box with essential deployment and environment information.

Infor LN UI User Guide | 19

 Working with LN UI

User profiles
LN UI stores user-specific UI settings in a user profile. These are examples of settings stored in a user
profile:
• The history of the Run Program dialog
• The overview of recently used sessions
• A BSE command
When you start LN UI for the first time, a default user profile is created automatically.
Through the Settings option on the Options menu, you can perform these actions:
• Change the user profile.
• Create additional user profiles.
• Select a default user profile.
For details, see the online help.

Managing the user profile

To manage your user profile:
1 Select Options > Settings. A new browser window opens, showing the available user profiles of
the currently selected environment.
2 Select the details of the user profile to change. You can now make changes, for example, by
specifying a BSE command.
3 When finished, click Save changes and exit.
You can use the New and Delete toolbar buttons to create and delete user profiles.
To set the currently selected user profile as the default, click Set Default. The default user profile is
used when you start LN UI the next time. If multiple profiles exist and no default user profile is selected,
you are prompted to select a profile when you start LN UI.

Hyperlink support
If a text-based form field only contains an email address or a URL, LN UI can perform a hyperlink
action.
For example:
• mailto:[email protected]
• [email protected]
• http://www.techwrite.com
The text of the links is underlined. To activate a hyperlink, click the link and simultaneously press Ctrl.
When you activate an "http://www." link, the corresponding web page is opened in your default
internet browser.

Infor LN UI User Guide | 20

sessions are still open. For each open session, a tab is displayed at the top of the LN page.
To switch to another open session, click the corresponding tab.
To close a session, click the cross icon in the corresponding tab.
Note: You can also switch between running Enterprise Modeler processes. See Starting an Enterprise
Modeler process on page 45.

The Find dialog starts.
2 If multiple indices are available, select the desired index in the left part of the dialog.
The dialog shows the corresponding input fields.
3 Enter (part of) the desired code or value in at least one field.
If you enter values in more than one field, LN searches for records that match all the criteria.
Find does not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters.
4 To start the search, click OK.
When the search is finished, the Find dialog box is closed. The first record found is the first record
listed. If no records were found, the nearest matching record is shown.

 Working with LN

Selecting records in a session

For some actions in a session, you must select one or more records before you can perform the action.
For example, to remove a record, you must first select the record and then click Delete.
In overview sessions, you can select and deselect records in multiple ways. See the following sections.

Selecting or deselecting records by selecting or clearing

check boxes
To select or deselect records, select or clear the check boxes that are displayed before the rows in the
grid:
• To select a record, select the check box before the corresponding row in the grid. To select additional
records, repeat this step.
• To deselect a record that is already selected, clear the check box before the corresponding row.
• To select a range of records, select the check box before the first record of the range. Then press
Shift and select the check box before the last record of the range. Both records, and all records
in between, are selected.
If the range contains many records, a progress window is displayed during the selection process.
If you click Stop in this window, all marked records are deselected.

Selecting or deselecting records by clicking read-only fields

To select or deselect records, click read-only fields in the rows in the grid:
• To select a record, click a read-only field in the corresponding row in the grid.
• To select an additional record, press Ctrl and click a read-only field in the corresponding row in
the grid.
• To deselect a record that is already selected, press Ctrl and then click a read-only field in the
corresponding row.
This action reverses the selection status of a record: if you perform this action on a record that is
not yet selected, that record is selected.
• To select a range of records, click a read-only field in the first record of the range. Then press Shift
and click a read-only field in the last record of the range. Both records, and all records in between,
are selected.
If the range contains many records, a progress window is displayed during the selection process.
If you click Stop in this window, all marked records are deselected.
Note: If you have already selected one or more records, and you click a read-only field in another

Changing the company number

In LN UI the change company functionality is available on the Options menu.
If you change the company here, the next session you start then starts in the new company. The
sessions that were already opened remain in the old company.
Changing company can be a problem if you have both an Enterprise Modeler authorization and an
Infor LN or Baan authorization. You might be authorized by the Infor LN or Baan authorization for
companies that you cannot use in combination with Enterprise Modeler. In Enterprise Modeler navigation,
you can only switch to those companies that have specified the same central modeling company as
defined in your user profile. If the central modeling company differs from the company in your user
profile, you can no longer start sessions from the Enterprise Modeler tree. Ask your system administrator
to change your user profile.

Changing the Enterprise Modeler Company

Definitions

LN Company (ERP Company)

Company as defined in the User Data. Can be overruled through a Change Company action (accessible
through the Options menu).
This company applies to the menu navigation.

Enterprise Modeler Company

Company as used by Enterprise Modeler. The Enterprise Modeler Company is related to an Enterprise
Modeler Project Model.

Infor LN UI User Guide | 24

 Working with LN

You select the Enterprise Modeler Company and the Project Model when you create an LN UI user
profile.

The EM Company always same as ERP company setting

The EM Company always same as ERP company setting determines whether Enterprise Modeler
automatically follows the LN company.
The setting is available in the user profile settings. By default, the setting is turned on.

Multi Main Table sessions

LN UI supports Multi Main Table (MMT) sessions.
The Multi Main Table session is designed to improve the ease of use with the application. Multiple
sessions are comprised into one to limit the number of sessions you must open in your daily work. In
an MMT session, you can enter, change, and delete data. The MMT session provides you a quick
overview of all your relevant information.
The Multi Main Table session consists of two parts:
• The header session: The coordinating session. A Multi Main Table session contains only one
header session. The header session is situated on the upper part of the screen.
• The related sessions: The session types that can be available in each MMT session. The related
sessions are situated on the lower part of the screen.

MMT functionality
The MMT session type can have a deep copy or delete function. Deep copy or delete in an MMT
session means you copy or delete data of both the header and all lines within all related sessions.
In MMT sessions an implicit save is active, your data is saved if you:
• Change focus from header session to related session.
• Change focus from related session to related session.

Filtering
You can use filtering to limit the number of records on your screen.

Infor LN UI User Guide | 25

filter area.
If Instant Filtering is switched off, the filter is applied when you press Enter in the easy filter area.
• Default String Filter Operator
Select this option to set the default filter operator for fields of the String type. Select one of these
operators:
• Starts With: The contents of the field start with the specified characters.
• Contains: The contents of the field contain the specified characters.
The selected default is valid after you restart the session.

Auto Complete
This topic describes how you can use the Auto Complete feature.

Introduction
Auto Complete enables you to partially fill in a field, and then select the appropriate item from a list.
Auto Complete is available on fields for which a zoom session has been defined, only if the corresponding
table field has a relation with another table.
Fields that support Auto Complete have a special zoom button with a pull-down arrow.
Note: Auto Complete is not available on segmented fields.

Using Auto Complete

To start Auto Complete on a zoom field, partially fill in the field and then press TAB. If there are matching
items, a list with matching items will be displayed. See the following example.

Infor LN UI User Guide | 27

 Working with LN

Example
You specify "I" in the Locale field of the Device Data session, and then press TAB. A list of locales
starting with "I" is displayed.

Points of attention
• The Auto Complete list can only show seven entries. If there are more matching items, a More
button is displayed at the end of the list. This button triggers the same zoom functionality as the
zoom button.
• An item will match if the primary key (code) of the related table starts with the specified value.
• If the field has been set up to be able to do a search on description, also the items that have a
description starting with the value specified will be shown.
• The look-up is case insensitive.
• If more characters are specified in the field the look-up will be narrowed.
For example: In the Departments field in the Employees session, you specify "0" and then press
TAB. The list shows departments starting with "0". Then, you specify "1". The list now shows
departments starting with "01".
• The list shows items that have currently been used (displayed or specified). Therefore, the item
does not have to be valid in the current situation on the session.
• If an item is selected in the list, the value will be selected (copied to the field), if you press TAB,
or click on another field.
• To close the list, press Esc.

 Introduction to Enterprise Modeler

Chapter 5: Introduction to Enterprise Modeler

You can start LN Enterprise Modeler processes through the side navigation bar in the Infor Ming.le-LN
Plug-in.
When you start a process, a graphical representation of the business process is displayed in the
application panel.
If you work from the graphical representation in the application panel, the images are interactive. Some
represent a process, while others represent LN sessions or other modeled applications. The graphical
representation of a process enables you to carry out your daily work.

Using Enterprise Modeler processes

Enterprise Modeler provides you with process-based navigation through the LN application.
While application-based navigation logically bundles applications into folders, modules, and packages,
process-based navigation bundles these applications according to your task. As a result, rather than
centralizing the application itself, the task a user must perform is centralized. A diagram shows activities
in a specific order. For each task, you can create a separate business process. Activities can be LN
sessions, URLs, manual activities, and/or Microsoft Office applications.
If you work with Enterprise Modeler, you are dependent on the authorization settings created by your
system administrator. Your work diagram can appear entirely different from your colleague's.

Starting an Enterprise Modeler process

Through the side navigation bar, you can start Enterprise Modeler processes that your modeler
developed.
You can work from the graphical representation in the application panel. If you click a symbol, the
activity opens and you can perform your task. Some figures represent processes, whereas others
represent a part of a process.
Click a process to view an overview of the sequential order and the number of tasks that you must
complete to perform your job.

Switching between multiple processes

If you start multiple Enterprise Modeler processes, only the last process is displayed in the application
panel. The other processes are still open. For each open process, a tab is displayed at the top of the
LN page. To switch to another open process, click the corresponding tab.
