Infor Ming.le Homepages: Customization Guide

Role-Based Homepage Design

le homepages is designing them around roles rather than departments. A shop floor supervisor needs different widgets than a production planner, even though both work in manufacturing. Start by mapping the top 5-10 actions and information needs for each role, then design homepage layouts that put those items within one click.

PeerSpot reviews consistently cite poor homepage design as a factor in low user adoption scores.

• Map top 10 daily tasks per role and ensure each is accessible from the homepage directly
• Use KPI widgets to surface real-time metrics relevant to each role's responsibilities
• Configure drill-down paths from homepage widgets to detailed transaction screens
• Limit homepage widgets to 8-12 per role to avoid information overload and slow loading

Widget Configuration and Data Sources

le supports several widget types: KPI tiles, list views, charts, action buttons, and embedded content. Each widget connects to a data source—typically an Infor application API, Data Lake query, or external URL. Performance depends on data source efficiency.

Widgets that query large datasets without proper filtering cause homepage load times to exceed user tolerance thresholds, typically around 3 seconds.

• Pre-filter widget data sources to return only current, relevant records for the logged-in user
• Cache KPI widget data with appropriate refresh intervals (5-15 minutes for most metrics)
• Use Data Lake as the source for aggregate KPIs instead of real-time application queries
• Test homepage load times with realistic data volumes before deploying to production users

AI-Optimized User Experience
