COMPONENT LIBRARIES

Update: Web Components and jQuery Components Libraries 

Our Web Components library for the Infor Design System moves out of beta and into general availability in the April 2024 release. The previously announced plans to deprecate the  jQuery components have been paused indefinitely. Maintaining both the Web Components and jQuery components libraries lets us strategically and effectively support all Infor solutions on their unique paths forward to better user experiences.

2024.04 FEATURE RELEASE

Workspaces

Ten role-based Workspaces are included in the 2024.04 Feature Release: 3 that serve multiple industries, 4 for service industries, and 3 for process & distribution. One-page summaries, including user value and highlights of net-new and enhanced widgets for each Workspace, are now available. 


2024.04 FEATURE RELEASE

GenAI Easy Harvest 

GenAI Easy Harvest is based on a one prompt and one response interaction. A single input into the model will prompt what kind of information or response the user is seeking; in turn, the model will generate a single output based on the prompt. To ensure that end users can productively interact with our GenAI tool, the design system has published new UX standards and best practices that are intended to: 

  • Provide a consistent, user-friendly experience across all Infor applications.
  • Shorten the learning curve so users get value out of GenAI more quickly. 
  • Make GenAI outcomes relevant to the capabilities and functionality of our solutions to amplify user success .

Read the one-page summary about what it is and why it matters.

FOUNDATIONS

Custom Icons

Product teams sometimes have use cases which require icons that aren’t currently offered by the design system. Design guidance has been published for creating icons to ensure that they’re consistent with the visual style of the new system icons set, providing a cohesive experience for end users.
