**** Newbie Question: Updated Documentation

unknown

Hi,

I'm a newbie experiencing some frustration in navigation in the various Infor websites (xtreme, education, etc.). I hope someone can assist with what, in my mind, would be seemingly a simple question.

I recently received a Lawson User Guide in pdf called "Lawson Administration: Jobs and Reports" version 9.0.0.x which is publised by Lawson in November 2008.

Issue(s):
1) This documentation is written specifically for UNIX and much of the documentation revolves around navigation using the Lawson Interface Desktop (LID). Many steps involve a command line for navigation.
2) I don't access Lawson through a client-based desktop. I access Lawson through a web-portal. As a result, I don't see a command line.

Problem:
I can't seem to find any documentation for the Jobs and Reports manual that shows navigation through the portal.

Steps I've taken:
- Checked out Infor Education
- Looked on main Infor.com website
- Performed a search of Infor Xtreme (and Communities section within)

Request:
Can you assist me to find the user manuals either here in communities or the Infor Campus (education) or a more appropriate area? I'm willing figure out how the site works -- I just need some help figuring out where the documentation repository is located.

Thanks in advance for assistance.

Best Regards,
-rb-

What is your role? Most system administrators would need to do some of the tasks in that manual through terminal access.

If you are trying to run a Lawson report as an end user, you would bring up the form like HR200, enter parameters, add the job and submit. Once the job has completed it will be in your print manager. There are several ways through portal to get to your print manager. The simplest being from the button on the form.

I think the basic concepts described in Chapter 4 of the manual are the same, it is just a bit different.

To be honest, I didn't know one existed.

I hope this helps you and I didn't oversimplify and I'd be happy to give you more details.
