When you create a report in InfoAssist, you have the option to activate InfoMini. You can run a report with InfoMini activated, which creates an InfoMini application. An InfoMini application contains a subset of the functionality available in the full version of the report or chart. You can limit or expand the functionality that is available to the user at run time when you build the report in InfoAssist.
An InfoMini application opens in its own browser window when it is run from within InfoAssist to test. An InfoMini application does not open in its own browser window in the portal or in any other application that you build yourself.
An InfoMini application has many of the components an InfoAssist report has, with the following exceptions:
