Welcome to the latest issue of The LawsonGuru Letter, a free newsletter providing provocative commentary on issues important to the Lawson Software community.  The LawsonGuru Letter is published by--and is solely the opinion of--John Henley of Decision Analytics. 
Infor Workspace and/or LSO?
Just curious to know if others are as confused as we are on this topic. We are a Windows customer and our users currently access applications, self-service, and T&E through portal. When we heard that portal was being retired, we thought we would have to choose between LSO and Workspace (and frankly, we were hoping that Workspace would meet our needs, since it is free).

Receiver Alerts
We are wondering if anyone has come up with or knows of a flashy way to alert receivers that more action is needed upon receipt.

Time And Expense To iSeries

ESS Benefit Enrollment - BN31.1 Security
We are currently working on bringing up Benefit Enrollment through ESS to allow for Life Event and New Hire enrollment. We would like to do these as immediate updates, but have concerns with the security. From what I have been able to find, the update is done on the BN31.1. However, the BN31.1 doesn't allow to secure by the Employee field on the form. Has anyone else secured the BN31.1 so that the employee logged in can only change their own data? Read More...
Thanks for your continued support of the LawsonGuru Letter and LawsonGuru.com.
