Hello,

Please help if possible!

I used the design function(https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/devenv-inclient-designer) to remove a couple of columns from the job planning line window and downloaded visual studio code and it is connected to my sandbox environment .

My question is how i can deploy this extension in the production environment.?

Press ctrl+shift+p to open the commands prompt of vs code. Locate the AL command for package extension. That creates an app file in the project folder. Go to business central and open the extension management page. Use the upload extension button and choose your app file. Wait for it to complete deploying and refresh the browser session

I am not sure which command i should choose? I have zero knowledge about which AL command to use that will create the .APP file.

Would you be able to direct me?

AL Package builds a package from your app. The app file you can load into your production tenant from extension management.

Hi, I feel like this is a bit complicated for non-developers.
All you need to do is four things.
1. access development environment
Launch.json: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/devenv-json-files#Launchjson

2. Download the Symbol file

3. Package

4. Deploy the generated app file to the production environment.

Although this is not very detailed, hope this helps.

Thanks.
