Similarities Between the Smart Client and the Web Clients

For the most part, the web client can do anything that the smart client can do in "Runtime Mode." You can use it to access forms, manipulate data, save data, and so on. This means that, for the typical end user, switching back and forth between the smart client and a web client is relatively easy and comfortable.

Both clients have a similar user interface based on current Infor standards. This includes the layout and display of the menus, main tool bar, icons, and other UI elements. All components on forms also display in a similar fashion in both types of clients.

Both clients include a Design Mode in which developers can develop forms and applications. The forms and dialog boxes that are used in Design Mode are different in some cases.
