Infor10 Mingle Login Screen Customization
Users have inquired about customizing the labels for the Login/Password input boxes on the Infor10 Mingle Login screen to be more helpful to the users about what values are to be used for logging into the Infor10 system(s). Other customization (ie. Listing the environment, displaying links to Tutorials, displaying notices, etc) may also be requested in the future. We are familiar with doing such customization for the old 9.X version, but with the code changes introduced with Infor10, we are having some difficulties identifying which file(s) need to be modified for customization to the Infor10 login screen. Can anyone direct me to the appropriate file(s)? Read More...
RNI Cleanup - PO33 Upload?
I'm trying to clean up RNI and back out receiving--anyone have an upload for PO33 they wouldn't mind sharing? Read More...
Shelf Locations Changes to Par Locations
We're trying to figure out the best way to give some par location (IC81) owners the ability to change their shelf locations. They can change the par level on the handheld but I don't think they can change the shelf location. We would like to limit their change access to just the prefer-bin field but also don't think that's possible. What are others doing? We do not want to give them complete change access due to the risk of them really messing some stuff up. Any advice on what has worked for you would be helpful.  Read More...
Thanks for your continued support of the LawsonGuru Letter and LawsonGuru.com.

How the NFL's Data Operation Tracks Every Move on the Field
Analytics have been important to sports at least since the first coach timed players in the hundred-yard dash, but some pro leagues have embraced statistical game analysis much faster, and more effectively, than others. Lagging behind professional baseball, basketball and soccer has been football, mired in good measure by the sheer complexity of the game. That's changing, and fast.
