Stop auto refresh in outlook addin

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 82

Hello everyone,

We have created our own outlook add-in, similar to the standard insights add-in but with access to view a custom list page and open the card page of records in that list.

The add-in is working fine, the user is able to pin it and navigate in BC to a card page of a record. 

The problem is that the user wants to remain on a card page even after changing from one email to another as they related to each other. But there is an inbuilt refresh in the control page itself (OfficeAddin.aspx) that forces the user back to the default list page. 

Does anyone know if it is possible to somehow stop the refresh (preferably) or at least navigate the user back to the card page they were on before the refresh? I have gone through the office context record passed to BC and reviewed related codeunits, such as the office management, but have not been able to find anything. Maybe there is something that can be done in the manifest of the outlook add-in itself?

Thanks in advance.

    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.

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

    Thanks.
