Let’s start with step
4 – adding a field to existing page like "Reason Code for Lost Quote"
to Job Card page.
We need to create new page extension object using
visual studio code.
The page extension object extends a Dynamics
NAV page object and adds or overrides the functionality.
The structure of a page is hierarchical and
breaks down in to three sections. The first block contains metadata for the
overall page; the type of the page and the source table it is showing data
from. The next section; the layout, describes the visual parts on the page. The
final section details the actions that are published on the page.
In the layout section, you can use the following functions to place page
fields and groups on the page. Similarly, in the actions section, you use these functions to
place actions in the ribbon.

Function example
|
Applies to...
|
|
addfirst(General)
|
Groups only
|
|
addlast(General)
|
Groups only
|
|
addafter(AddressDetails;
"Post Code")
|
Fields and groups
|
|
addbefore(AddressDetails;
"Post Code")
|
Fields and groups
|
|
movefirst(General)
|
Groups only
|
|
movelast(General)
|
Groups only
|
|
moveafter(AddressDetails;
"Post Code")
|
Fields and groups
|
|
movebefore(AddressDetails;
"Post Code")
|
Fields and groups
|
If you want to modify existing fields and
groups on a page, you use the modify() function.
Open the Visual studio code and Folder
ReasonCodeforLostJobQuote which we created before if it is not open.
Click on New File
Add name “JobcardpageExtReasonCodeforLostQuote.al”
Typing the shortcut tpageext will create the basic layout for
a table object when using the AL Extension in Visual Studio Code.
Like
Edit ID to 70000001 and Name
as “Reason Code for Lost Quote” and extends “Job Card”.
Add field "Reason Code for Lost
Quote" to General tab as shown below
This is how field is added to existing page
using page extension in Visual studio code.
We will see how to Build final package and
install extension in next blog.
Stay
tuned.
