AL Basics – Part 4 [Page]

Since we are going to continue same project, reason why I am asking to have it as we will be referencing to the objects we created in above posts.

Let’s begin with our today’s task.

Create a new .al file, fresh new file. We can write all our code in single file but we are following to have one object per file so that it is easy to manage in future, as any even small customization will involve many of the objects.

First we will extend a Table from Sales Line and add some fields with reference to the existing Table Loadout point we created in our earlier post.

This will give us the basic structure of the Table Extension.

We need to Provide Unique ID, Name of Extended Table & from which Table we want to extend our current Table.

Now Rename & Save your File.

Next we will extend a Page to add this 2 new fields.

Now we will extend a Page from Sales Order Subform and add above fields.

Create a new .al file, fresh new file.

This will give us the basic structure of the Page Extension.

We need to Provide Unique ID, Name of Extended Page & from which Page we want to extend our current Page.

Now Rename & Save your File.

I have added an action to our existing Page Loadout Point List Page to link the Appointment Calendar Setup Page, just for demo purpose, we fill find suitable place to add same in our future post.

After this step we are done with one small/basic extension which we can Publish and check the output.

We will see this in our next post.
