The latest UX updates, including UX writing, Web Components and jQuery components libraries, and design tokens.

FOUNDATIONS

UX Writing  

User experience writing (UXW) is a foundation of the Infor Design System and consists of the user interface copy—microcopy—that standardizes and humanizes the way users relate to Infor products. It provides an engaging and consistent human voice that builds trust in effective and dependable interactions. It also works contextually with the visual aspects and componentry of a UI, as well as the interactional guidance needed to achieve the goals of an application or system. UXW provides standardization and enablement guidelines, greater ease of use for sophisticated applications, and better microcopy and UX by iterating on feedback.

Email us with any questions about UXW standards and guidance for the design system.


COMPONENT LIBRARIES

Update: Web Components and jQuery Components Libraries  

Our Web Components library for the Infor Design System (IDS) is now generally available. 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.  


FOUNDATIONS

Design Tokens

Standalone design tokens are now available for teams who want to use IDS styles in their solutions but can’t use the IDS components. These design tokens represent foundational design language styles, like colors and font sizes, and are currently powering our recently released Web Components. Design tokens make it easier for designers and developers to apply the right values in the right scenarios. Going forward, they will be extended to more aspects of the component styles, including shape, shadow, and font family. 


COMPONENTS

Buttons

Updates to button styles are now available, including the release of the new Generative AI (GenAI) button type, created for user interactions with AI within Infor solutions. There are updated colors in the pressing and pressed states as well as an updated icon for the pressed state.
