A Tile is built specifically around business insights comprising SQL scripts that surface important enterprise information as events occurs - without having to first print reports or execute queries to translate this information into suitable business actions. For example: You may have a policy that dictates how many backorders are permitted at company level at any given time. A business insight tile that reveals the 'Total backorders for the company' allows you to monitor this dynamically.

Once you have added a layout section for a Tile section, you can add tiles from a number of categories where each category includes a number of KPIs.

Tiles can be added to individual programs such as Customer Query and provide the key field - 'Customer' as a context. Once this context is provided, the tile can show information related to the current key value (e.g. show backorders for a specific customer).

Standard business insights shipped with SYSPRO are stored in the \Base\Samples folder (named UX_Tile_??????_xxxxxx.SQL, where ?????? is the TileId that must be unique across all tiles and xxxxxx is a string that briefly describes the tile (e.g. UX_Tile_SOR001_Backorders_For_Company.SQL.

A Web Card is also a self-contained HTML5 page built specifically around key fields (e.g. customers, suppliers, stock code, etc.) and derives its data from a business object and which can be run as a separate entity in its own window, or embedded in a Web View. These can be Key Cards (e.g. displaying information for a key field) or Insight Cards (displaying information such as bank balances, or sales order commitments).

You can pin a Web Card by placing your cursor in the middle of the card and dragging it to the required position. This will keep the card open throughout the run of SYSPRO and information is updated as soon a the key field related to the card is updated (this information could be in a row in a listview and is not limited to the cell).

You can have has many cards open at the same time as you like.

Web Cards are displayed on a Web View by default and are stored in the \Base\Samples folder (named UX_Card_XX.html, where XX describes the value, or key field that was added to the card).

Images of the key field can be included and must be defined as a BMP multimedia object category. The list of available SYSPRO cards is defined in the IMPUXC.IMP file of the \Programs folder. You can define your own Web Cards in the CUSUCX.IMP file of the CUSPROGS folder.
