Programmatically Creating Outlook Appointment in Navision

July 31, 2018July 31, 2018 Ashwini Tripathi

Dear Friends in this post I will discuss about creating Outlook Appointment from Navision using DotNet Interop. Without going much in theory lets jump to practical approach.

To start with first we need to define some DotNet variables:

Name	DataType	Subtype
OutlookItemType	DotNet	Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlItemType. ‘Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c’
outlookApplication	DotNet	Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application. ‘Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c’
outlookApplicationClass	DotNet	Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.ApplicationClass. ‘Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c’
outlookAppItem	DotNet	Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.AppointmentItem. ‘Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c’

I have created a function CreateOutlookAppointment which takes parameters as:

And the code as below:

To call this function I use below code:

The code is itself self-explanatory.

You can add other validations and parameters as per the requirement.

Imp Tip:- Make sure you set for all DotNet Variables RunOnClient = Yes.

On run the output will be as:

What you are waiting for, go create Appointment and have fun.

See you seen via my next post. Till then keep learning and growing in your career.

Azure, Development Tips, Dynamics 365, Functional Tips, How To, Image Analyzer, Information, Instalation & Configuration, NAV 2018, Tip & Tricks, What's New

Image Analysis feature in Dynamics NAV 2018

December 20, 2017 Ashwini Tripathi

In Dynamics NAV 2018, the Image Analyzer extension uses the Computer Vision API to analyze images that are attached to contact persons and items.

For example, this is useful for items because it lets you build up a stockpile of metadata about what you sell and use it to fine-tune search results when someone is browsing your web shop.

Image Analyzer is free in Dynamics NAV, but there is a limit to the number of items that you can analyze during a certain period of time. By default, you can analyze 100 images per month.

After you enable the extension, Image Analyzer runs each time you import an image to an item or contact person. You will see the attributes, confidence level, and details right away, and can decide what to do with each attribute. If you imported images before you enabled the Image Analyzer extension, you must go to the item or contact cards and choose the Analyze Picture action.

Requirements

There are a few requirements for the images:

Image formats: JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP
Maximum file size: Less than 4 MB
Image dimensions: Greater than 50 x 50 pixels

How to enable Image Analyzer

To enable the Image Analyzer extension, do one of the following:

Method-1 : Open an item or contact card. In the notification bar, choose Analyze Images, and then follow the steps in the assisted setup guide.

This will launch Image Analyser assisted setup guide, follow the step.

Once you are done It will import your image for Analysing.

Method-2 : Access the Service Connections, and then choose Image Analysis Setup.

Choose the Enable Image Analyzer check box, and then complete the steps in the assisted setup guide.

For URL and Key follow these steps:

Click on Computer Vision API Documentation

Click on Try Computer Vision API

Select your API Computer Vision API and then Get API Key

Agree to T & C select your Country/Region and then Next

Sign-In with the preferred account sign-in method

Once done you will land on page which will have your Endpoint URL and Key

You must add /analyze at the end of the API URI, if it isn’t already there.

Enter your Endpoint URL and Key and close the window.

Now you import your Image, or select Analyze Picture if already imported

This will analyze the Image and provide you with the Attributes.

The Image Analyzer Attributes page displays the detected attributes, the confidence level, and other details about the attribute. Use the Action to perform options to specify what to do with the attribute.

This is how you enable and configure your Image Analyzer Service.

To see how many analyses you have left in the current period

You can view the number of analyses you’ve done, and how many you can still do, in the current period.

Enter Image Analyzer Setup, and then choose the related link.

The Limit type, Limit value, and Analyzes performed provide the usage information.

To stop using the Image Analyzer extension

Enter Service Connections, and then choose Image Analyzer Setup.

Clear the Enable Image Analyzer check box.

I will come with more details as I proceed.
