How to Add field in the scroll window through dexterity?

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I would like to know how to do customization in the scrolling window. For example i want to add Item ship weight field in the SOP Entry scroll window. when i choose the item in the scroll it will display the item ship weight in the field. I don't know how to do these customization. If it is possible or not?... Please help me....

( These types of customization, It is possible for the 3rd party dictionary scroll window? ).

    Hi Pragadees,

    As Richard said, you can certainly do this in Dexterity, but you don't want to. By doing so you would be creating an Alternate window. You would have to redo the customization with each release of Dynamics.

    Using Modifier, and then attaching some VBA code to it, you can make external connections to the database and write your own business logic to make it work. Be aware that this type of customization (VBA) is not supported by the GP2013 web client, and likely never will be. You have a couple of options. You can add the field with Modifier and then use VBTools to write .net code to make things happen. Alternatively, you can get Extender enterprise edition from eOne solutions and 'point and click' your way to a solution. You can put in Dex scripts where you need them and have the best of both worlds.

    You will be able to customize the default GP window without having to re-write it every release, and you can use Dex scripts to manipulate the business logic.

    Check it out.

    Kind regards,

    Leslie

    It is but modifier changes are supported by upgrades while you have to re-do Dex changes

    This can be done through modifier,  Look for the lookup window in the list of forms, open it in modifier, make the current fields shorter to provide room, and insert the item weight from the available fields.  This only works for item searches.
