Moving Smart Office Favorites into H5

If you’re moving from the Smart Office client to the H5 client for M3, there are two utility tools that will help you to export and transform the compatible favorites of the Smart Office users. You can find the tools in the latest Smart Office delivery package (v10.2.1.0) under the Additional Files Folder; MangoAdminTool.zip and ISOtoH5FavoritesExportTool.zip. Get the zip archives and extract the tools.

For older Smart Office versions read the chapter Importing User Files in Smart Office 10.2 using the MangoAdminTool in the Infor Smart Office Administration Guide (ISOAG_10.2.1 page 254).

Export the User Favorites from Smart Office

Launch the MangoAdminTool.exe, select and login to the Smart Office server.

Transform the Favorites and Prepare for H5 Import
