Automatically synchronize security changes from LX to IDF, replacing CPYSECIDF. This new process synchronizes users in IDF with those in core LX security whenever a user’s security settings are changed. When a user is deleted from an LX environment, they can also be automatically removed from the IDF environment. Changes to a user’s access to programs in LX are mirrored in IDF. Access to Companies, Facilities, and Warehouses are also synchronized. Additionally, when Business Roles or Business Units access is changed, all users assigned to those roles or units are updated in IDF security.

The Infor Development Framework (IDF) is a significant component of Infor's efforts to modernize its Infor LX application. IDF aims to enhance the user experience by introducing a task-oriented approach to accessing information within Infor LX. It is designed to replace LX Inquiry screens.

Why You Need IDF

The Infor Development Framework (IDF) not only helps you modernize the look and feel of your LX software but also the interactions of the IBM i software with other applications in your business.

“The IDF is a multi-user interface, single codebase architecture that’s metadata-driven (and) provides a lot of flexibility to adapt the software for their processes.” says Infor. This is the direction that Infor is going starting...

The Infor Development Framework (IDF) re-architects the way a user interacts with the application by providing an efficient, task-oriented process to view the application information that is contained within Infor LX. IDF enables users to configure their view of the application data without modifying the core application and its supportability.

The examples below describe how users can configure their display of data and maximize overall productivity:

• Arrange application information into multiple groupings and sequences that make sense for the job.
• Hide information that does not apply to a particular job or task.
• Filter records to show only the information that applies to the job or task that the user is performing.
• Customize the information for an individual user, for a group of users, or for all users.

IDF (Infor Development Framework) configures your view of the application data without modifying the core application and its supportability. In version 8.3.4 and higher, IDF programs provide the replacement for most of the 300 series inquiry programs. Starting with version 8.4, Infor has added 100 series maintenance programs such as Item Master, Vendor Master, and Customer Master. With IDF, navigation drill-downs are far superior to any green-screen presentation of the data.

Included with IDF are several interfaces including:...
