Posted on by 625

Hi All,

I have added a custom factbox to a custom page called Project List and i want to add the Documents Attached option under the Attachements section of this factbox,

So i created new page for Document Attachements with Documents Attachment as source table : 

page XXXX3 WfsProjectDocAttachFactbox
{

    Caption = 'Documents Attached';
    PageType = CardPart;
    SourceTable = "Document Attachment";

    layout
    {
        area(content)
        {
            group(Control2)
            {
                ShowCaption = false;
                field(Documents; Count)
                {
                    ApplicationArea = All;
                    Caption = 'Documents';
                    StyleExpr = TRUE;
                    ToolTip = 'Specifies the number of attachments.';
                    trigger OnDrillDown()
                    var
                        projectTable: Record XXXProjectTable;
                        DocumentAttachmentDetails: Page "Document Attachment Details";
                        RecRef: RecordRef;
                    begin
                        RecRef.Open(DATABASE::XXXProjectTable);
                        if projectTable.Get("No."then
                            RecRef.GetTable(projectTable);
                        DocumentAttachmentDetails.OpenForRecRef(RecRef);
                        DocumentAttachmentDetails.RunModal;
                    end;
                }
            }
        }
    }

}
And then attached this page as a part in the fatbox section of my custom list Page :  
         area(Factboxes)
        {

            systempart(Links; Links)
            {
                ApplicationArea = All;
                //Visible = false;
            }
            systempart(Notes; Notes)
            {
                ApplicationArea = All;
            }
            part(XXXProjectDocAttachFactbox; XXXProjectDocAttachFactbox)
            {
                ApplicationArea = All;
            }
        }
But the issue is taking attachment(s) common for a all the records in the list,i want the attachment to work specific for each Project Ids in the list.
Also i want the attachement document section in the Attachment tab not on the Details Tab.

    Hello,

    We currently do not have dedicated Dev support via the Dynamics 365 Business Central forums, but I wanted to provide you some additional resources to assist.  If you need assistance with debugging or coding I would recommend discussing this on one of our communities.

    www.yammer.com/dynamicsnavdev

    dynamicsuser.net/.../developers

    I will open this up to the community in case they have something to add.

    Thanks.

    Thank you the reply, but i managed to solve the issue.

    Since its an custom list page where i want to the attach documents functionality in the custom sandbox.So i took the reference from the standard ones, like in Sales Quotes list page the factbox  has "Document Attachment Factbox" page :

    pastedimage1592028479411v1.png

    Which opens up "Document Attachment Details" page : 

    pastedimage1592028551857v2.png

    Now these same pages have been added in Sales Quotes/Orders, Purchase Quotes/Orders,etc. And in code level of these pages, the code was written in such a way that all these standard tables we checked and for each of these table there are cases which handle the attachment process.

    Now , in my case its a standard table, and i cant add my case into the standard code of these pages, so i created custom pages which excatly similar to "Document Attachment Factbox" and  "Document Attachment Details" using the same standard source table "Document Attachment" . The only difference in these i handled the attachment process for my custom table through code in these custom pages.

    I referred the following to achieve till here : www.cloudfronts.com/.../

    Its working fine, but the only issue i am not able to move it to the Attachment Tab like other standard factboxes.
