How to add splitters between sections in a Business Central page layout (AL)?

(7) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 45

I am working on a custom List page in Dynamics 365 Business Central (AL).

The page layout is structured as follows:

  • The page content is divided into two rows:
    • Top row displays data from Table 1
    • Bottom row is divided into two columns:
      • Left column displays data from Table 2
      • Right column displays data from Table 3

The layout is already implemented using nested group controls and part pages, and it works correctly from a functional standpoint.

However, from a user experience perspective, I want these sections to be resizable by the user:

  1. Ability to resize top vs bottom sections
  2. Ability to resize left vs right sections in the bottom row

I understand that:

  • There is no splitter support at the page level in AL
  • Splitters, if supported, are handled via group containers

My questions are:

  1. What is the correct and supported way to implement horizontal and vertical splitters between such sections using group controls?
  2. Are there any limitations or best practices when using splitters on List pages?
I have the same question (0)

    Hello ,
     
     Business Central does not support user-resizable splitters between groups or parts on List pages (top/bottom or left/right). GridLayout = Rows/Columns only controls layout, not resizing, and any splitter-like behavior you see in standard BC is handled entirely by the web client (mainly for FactBoxes), not extensible via AL. The only supported resizable area is the FactBox pane; everything inside the content area is fixed, aside from show/hide via personalization. Using control add-ins or JS hacks for splitters is unsupported and will break sooner or later—this is a platform limitation.

    Is it similar to the following approach? Bank Acc. Reconciliation (379, ListPlus)
    You can refer to this, but users cannot adjust the size.

    Thanks  @YUN ZHU
     
    The bank account reconciliation reference page is very helpful.
    Could you please share more reference pages like this?
    • They should include a clear splitter that differentiates between the two sections
    • So that it should maintain better visibility even when there are two or more sections.
