Move notes from attatchment to details in factbox

(5) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 20

Hello

I have a page that includes FactBoxes by default. The FactBoxes section is divided into “Attachments” and “Details.”  The “Attachments” section contains “Notes” sections.

Is it possible to move the “Notes” from the “Attachments” section to the “Details” section? It is Version BC 28

Thanks.

    I ran a quick test, and it really doesn't work...

     

    Thanks

    Thank you for your replies.

    Would it be possible to display the notes, that have been entered in the  attatchment section, in the details section instead?

    Yes, this can be done with a small customization.

    You can't move the standard Notes system part from Attachments to Details, but you can add a custom FactBox to the existing Details area and display the same notes there.

    For example, on the Customer Card:

    page 50100 "Customer Notes FactBox"
    {
        PageType = CardPart;
        ApplicationArea = All;
        Caption = 'Notes';
        SourceTable = Customer;
    
        layout
        {
            area(Content)
            {
                field(NoteText; NoteText)
                {
                    ApplicationArea = All;
                    Editable = false;
                    MultiLine = true;
                    ShowCaption = false;
                }
            }
        }
    
        trigger OnAfterGetRecord()
        begin
            LoadNotes();
        end;
    
        local procedure LoadNotes()
        var
            RecordLink: Record "Record Link";
            RecordLinkMgt: Codeunit "Record Link Management";
        begin
            Clear(NoteText);
    
            RecordLink.SetRange("Record ID", Rec.RecordId);
            RecordLink.SetRange(Type, RecordLink.Type::Note);
            RecordLink.SetAutoCalcFields(Note);
    
            if RecordLink.FindSet() then
                repeat
                    if NoteText <> '' then
                        NoteText += '\';
    
                    NoteText += RecordLinkMgt.ReadNote(RecordLink);
                until RecordLink.Next() = 0;
        end;
    
        var
            NoteText: Text;
    }
    

    Then add it to the existing Customer Card FactBox area:

    pageextension 50101 "Customer Card Notes Ext" extends "Customer Card"
    {
        layout
        {
            addlast(FactBoxes)
            {
                part(CustomerNotes; "Customer Notes FactBox")
                {
                    ApplicationArea = All;
                    SubPageLink = "No." = field("No.");
                }
            }
        }
    }
    

    This doesn't move or modify the standard Notes functionality. It simply reads the same notes and displays them in the custom FactBox.

    Hope this helps. If it works for you, please mark the answer as Accepted Answer. 🙂

    Hello,

    In BC 28, the standard Notes cannot be moved from the Attachments tab to the Details tab through personalization or a page extension; Microsoft defines Notes as a systempart(Notes; Notes), while the client controls its placement and specifically groups Notes with Documents/Links under the Attachments tab—AL only lets you add/remove/reorder FactBoxes within the FactBoxes area and provides no property to assign the Notes system part to the Details tab. If this layout is mandatory, you would need to develop a custom CardPart FactBox for your own notes functionality and place that among the normal Details FactBoxes, rather than moving the standard Notes component.
