LX & BPCS Tip: Unlocking Efficiency and Customization: The Power of Infor Development Framework (IDF)

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. Here are some key points about IDF:

1. Efficient Interaction: IDF re-architects the way users interact with Infor LX, making it more efficient and user-friendly.

2. Configurability: Users can configure their view of application data without making modifications to the core application. This preserves the core application's supportability and reduces the risk of introducing errors.

3. Centralized Data Management: IDF can serve as a centralized management utility for all data, both within and outside the IBMi environment.

Examples of how users can benefit from IDF include:

• Grouping and Sequencing: Users can arrange application information into multiple groupings and sequences that align with their specific job requirements.

• Information Hiding: Unnecessary information can be hidden to declutter the interface and focus on the task at hand.

• Record Filtering: Users can filter records to display only the information relevant to their current job or task, improving productivity.

• Customization: IDF allows for customization at various levels, including individual user preferences, group-specific settings, or changes that apply to all users.

Additionally, the latest version of IDF includes file maintenance functions, which can be used for tasks such as managing the Item master file.
