• Refacing a complex form into the functionality required by your organization <br />• Removing fields and functionality not required by the process <br />• Assembling the same form for view by different departments <br />• Adding additional validations that are organization specific <br />• Refacing error messages to they become pop -ups or other types of warning <br />• Adding graphics and HTML references to other documents or pictures <br />• Hiding fields and other physical presentation controls that may not managed by <br />security <br />• Linking document management systems <br />• User exits for calculations and other outside validations / processing <br />• Adding buttons and links to other systems or functions <br />• Assembling functionality found on multiple forms into one form <br />• Adding additional process controls and references. <br />• Pretty much anything that needs to be changed about the look, feel and process <br />of any giving screen or function <br />The fundamental knowledge used in Design Studio also carries over the ProcessFlow <br />Integrator. This means the same type of person used to design screens can also re- <br />factor, create, customize and reprocess workflows, integrations and other processes <br />within the Lawson applications. When you learn one Lawson tool you basically can <br />manage and use all of the other Lawson tools. <br />Design Studio provides unprecedented flexibility for client customization and form <br />tailoring. It can be used to customize a form, or to create a "Wizard" that will dynamically <br />walk a new employee through a form by highlighting required fields and showing pop -up <br />help balloons whose text is easily customizable. These changes are accomplished <br />quickly, and do not require coding knowledge. In this situation, an individual at the <br />department level (outside of IT), with the proper authorization, can make adaptations to <br />existing forms. <br />However, Design Studio also offers the experienced IT programmer the tools and <br />capabilities to perform very extensive customizations. Design Studio provides access to <br />all the fields and interface widgets associated with any given program and also provides <br />programmatic access to each business objects' (the business logic layer) properties and <br />methods. This level of access allows IT professionals to re- design screen flow, add <br />custom logic and validations, and interface other relevant non - Lawson data right into our <br />screens. And all Design Studio customizations sit completely outside of the core <br />Lawson system and have no effect on our delivered source code. Updates to core <br />Lawson applications can be applied to the server and most custom Design Studio <br />screens and views will work without any re- coding. This significantly reduces the <br />ongoing cost of maintaining customizations and affords customers the ability to continue <br />to take updates /upgrades. <br />Examples of customer tweaks exist across all the three suites: <br />- Requisition / Purchase Order — validate the use of a series of accounting <br />units and ensure that an Asset Template has been used (capital asset <br />acquisition) <br />- Accounts Payable Vendor — ensure that a duplicate address or tax ID has <br />not been used in either the AP database and /or HR employee table <br />- Human Resources - Streamline forms by removing extraneous fields <br />Lawson Software - Confidential 22 <br />
