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 interface. You can limit or expand the functionality that is available to the user at run time when you build the report or chart in InfoAssist.
An InfoMini application opens in its own browser window when it is run from within InfoAssist.
An InfoMini application has many of the components an InfoAssist report has, with the following exceptions:

If you clear all of the options from the menu, InfoMini is deactivated. All options are selected by default.

Note: If you did not select at least one tab in the Edit section of the InfoMini button menu, Edit mode will not display at run time.
