The Quick Info is possibly one of the best features in iDempiere.
It can be used in many ways without writing a single line of code. It gives you flexibility, context and extra information without having to navigate away from the record you’re working on.
It was first introduced in iDempiere 2.1 and has evolved since then into one of the most powerful tools in the system. You can use it, for example:
- See a list of previously ordered products by a business partner, and set a link on the products to navigate to their corresponding records.
- Create more complex elements, such as graphics, charts or images.
- Add HTML elements to create a visual representation of anything you want, for instance, a progress bar.

I am a systems engineer with a great passion for open source, software development, and technology in general. I have been part of the iDempiere community since 2012. I believe the enterprise world is one of the most aggressive environments out there. Companies tend to ruthlessly compete against each other. That is why seeing competitors co-exist and cooperate in harmony in iDempiere (and OSS communities in general) is so interesting to me.
