Add field to page - different accounts, different options

Posted on by TBC user

Hi Community,

We have a situation, where after checking two user accounts, we have noticed a difference in what each account can see/add to the BC page, under General Journals.

The first screenshot is from the account that has all the necessary columns - VAT Date, Document No., Account type, Amount, Amount (LCY), VAT Prod. Posting Group, VAT amount, etc.

The second account is where we want to add those fields:

When I look under "Personalisation" I cannot find the fields like "VAT Date" , "Document No." etc. Are they somehow hidden? Is there a shortcut key showing all available fields and not just the recommended ones?

First check in the Page Inspector if it is the same page in both situations:

Inspecting pages in Business Central - Business Central | Microsoft Learn

Next, check if the 2 users have the same permissions.

Also check the permissions of the user doing the personalisation.

Hi,

Some fields aren't available to add using personalisation therefore I suspect the fields in the first screen shot have been added by customising the role.

I wrote this blog on how you can do this

Dynamics 365 Business Central – How to add a field to a Page that’s not available via personalisation

Hope this helps

Thanks

Gavin

The 2nd image shows the Simplified version of General Journal.
Please switch to normal version (all columns):

Hi,

If you inspect the page and see the fields are displayed, then you'll need to go to the user profile and add them

Hello,

By way of Personalization if the Fields is not displaying then you can create an extension using AL code in Visual Studio Code.

May this can help : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/ui-work-general-journals
