It would be great If someone can share any existing reference form having this implemented already.

Hi RahulShah,

Yes, it is technically possible to implement a tree structure within a FactBox in Business Central, but it requires a custom control add-in. The standard FactBox framework doesn't natively support hierarchical or tree views, so you'll need to build or integrate a control that can render this kind of UI.

Here's how you can approach it:

Create a JavaScript Control Add-in
Develop a custom control add-in using JavaScript and HTML that renders a tree view. You can use libraries like jsTree or TreeView from Syncfusion to simplify development.

Integrate the Add-in into a FactBox
Once the control add-in is ready, you can embed it into a FactBox on your page using AL code. The add-in can receive data from AL and render it dynamically.

Pass Hierarchical Data
Structure your data in AL to represent the tree hierarchy and pass it to the control add-in using the SetData method or similar.

Reference Implementation
While there’s no out-of-the-box example from Microsoft, you might find community samples or GitHub repositories showcasing similar implementations. If you’d like, I can help you find one or guide you through building it.

If this answer was helpful, please consider marking it as accepted.
Best regards,
Daniele

Hi Rahul,

Thank you for this great question.

Well, Yes. You can embed an existing page which has tree structure format in the Factbox section of the page. Considering now we can resize the factbox section it now makes more sense to add more details or tree structure data in factbox.

Basically Microsoft allows only Listpart and Cardpart page types to be used in Factbox.

So as far as your tree structure page is in the Listpart or Cardpart format you can use it as a factbox in any other page.

For more details you can refer to this Microsoft Learn link - Adding a FactBox to a page - Business Central | Microsoft Learn

Just to add, I tried this case myself. I created a page of type Listpart which shows G/L Account Categories in the tree strucuture format. I embed this page in G/L Account Card page and here is how it looks.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Dhiren.
