To create an InfoMini application in InfoAssist, build a report as you normally would, then activate InfoMini and add the functionality you want the user to have available to them at run time. For more information on what functionality is available to InfoMini applications, see Understanding InfoMini Applications.
Note: At least one option from the InfoMini menu must be selected in order to activate InfoMini. By default, the Format tab, Slicers tab, and Save option are selected on the menu when you activate InfoMini in a new report. For more information on enabling InfoMini options, see How to Enable and Disable InfoMini Application Options.
The InfoMini button is highlighted and the InfoMini mode is activated. For more information about running an InfoMini application, see How to Test an InfoMini Application.
You can choose which options will be available at run time in an InfoMini application. By default, the Format tab, Slicers tab, and Save option are selected on the menu when you activate InfoMini in a new report. For more information about the functionality of each option, see Understanding InfoMini Applications.
InfoMini does not have to be active for you to access the menu. When you select an option from the menu, InfoMini is activated.
An InfoMini application opens in a new window.
With an InfoMini application open, you can edit the application using the functionality that was enabled in InfoAssist. You have access to Interactive and Edit mode options, depending on which options were enabled. For more information on the options in Interactive mode, see Interactive Mode. For more information on the options in Edit mode, see Edit Mode.
You have the ability to alter the InfoMini application at run time using the Interactive and Edit modes. Changes to the application are not reflected on the canvas dynamically and you must run the report to see the updates.
