How do i add a new column?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 20

I am absolutely new to MS Dynamics AX and the dev environment. In a particular pool, I am trying to add a line (column), and i am completely clueless as to how to go about it. 

So far, I have gone to my overview tab and identified which table the columns in the grid are pulling from. Now I have also identified the parent table...I just need to be able to create a new method under that parent table and somehow get it over to display when I click on one of my journal reports from the content pane.

so far, my method looks like this:

display AccountName accountName()

{

      return this.Name;

}

 

I am basically trying to get form/report to display the account name.

Any pointers please? i know I might not be making that much sense. But please feel free to ask me for more info, i would give it if I knew what.

    Hi,

    I understand you want to customize 2 things: form customizing and report customizing.

    Read/ buy the book 'inside Dynamics ax 2009'. It give you guidance on how to do things, but not more than that. I gives you the basics on modifying a field and report.

    Form customizing; right click: setup and then add a field from the queries listed. I guess the accountname is present otherwise you need to change a query (best is to create a new one).

    For the report you need to customize with the report designer. What report are you customizing (name)? I believe in the purchaseorder report the accountname is present. so with the AOT you can investigate how it is created.

    I'd agree with the book, its a great starter point, this kind of customization is best suited to MorphX development not really X++ I would feel, you would have to be a little more specific with regarding what field you want in what form but in the main this is achievable through the AOT.
