Hi,

Is there a way to extend or add a new menu in the department menu section under financial management?

    Hi,

    Are you sure you give to use correct links? I read them and it looks all links are related to "Tell me" box. I'm not able to extend business central web client menu. Can you help me (e.g. to attach some really simple example)?

    Hi,

    You cannot extend the MunuSuite because such object type is not available for the extensions development in AL.

    If you are going to use the Web Client then you can add a new UsageCategory property on your page in the code.

    The UsageCategory setting will make the page accessible from the menu.

    You can find more details about the UsageCategory property by the following link:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/devenv-al-menusuite-functionality

    But, anyway, you will not be able to add your page to the specific department, since departments are not available in the Web Client anymore. (Please, check the Web Client limitations here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics-nav/feature-limitations-of-the-microsoft-dynamics-nav-web-client)

    If you are going to use the Windows Client then you can still work with C\AL objects and you can customize your MunuSuite directly from the Development Environment:

    For the Windows Client you can directly edit the menusuite object. Menusuite is not available on the web client.
