Extend ISV report D365 F&O

Report

Posted on by CU27040914-11

I have a report belonging to a vertical of an ISV. I am asked to add a new layout to this report. I created a new model to do this and that references the model to which the report belongs. But when I want to duplicate or extend the report it is not possible because the options are not enabled as seen below

The report is structured with a Controller, DP and Contract class as normally done and a Report class where data is instantiated and /Report_/ classes where certain data is modified.

Given this situation, I created a new report and in the DataSet I related them to the DP class of the original report. I would like to know how I can extend the controller class to specify the new design that I added. I should mention that the report is not configured through the report management option. These are the methods that the controller has. The controller class extends the SrsPrintMgmtController class, I have searched for related information but I cannot find an approach to this situation

Thanks for the help

Hi Community User,

Let's say the ISV controller is called OriginalController. In this case you can create new controller class named for example XXOriginalControllerExt which extends the OriginalController class and then Override the main() method. Where you can specify the new report name and design.

Also you will need to create an extension of the report menu item to specify the new controller

Look at this link for more info:

Thanks Layan Jwei

I have tried the solution you share but it doesn't work. It keeps returning the other design that is not the one I specified

I did it in the following way, according to the link you shared with me

Hi Community User,

Did you link the menu item with the new controller?

Also did you debug and see if this new main method is being hit to detect the issue? If it's being called, then maybe try to clear usage data.

Also maybe share the whole code with us please.

Thanks,
