D365 F&O: Action Message – Latest feature

Hey Folks, 

I know many of us were waiting for this cool feature where we could go land to the action (main form/details) page of the message – which gets notify during your work process in the notification area.

Yes, with this you can link the info messages to a menu item and finally navigate to the corresponding records.

It’s possible via API – “Message”. The Message() API gives you more control over the lifecycle of a message by allowing you to explicitly add and remove messages.

public static void main(Args _args)     {                     VendTable vendTable = VendTable::find('1001');         MenuItemMessageAction actionData = new MenuItemMessageAction();         actionData.MenuItemName(menuItemDisplayStr(VendTable));         actionData.TableName(tableStr(VendTable));         actionData.RecId(vendTable.RecId);         str jsonData = FormJsonSerializer::serializeClass(actionData);         int64 messageId = Message::AddAction(MessageSeverity::Informational,             "Vendor information",             vendTable.name(), MessageActionType::DisplayMenuItem, jsonData);        }

Also, did you ever ponder – how can you remove the Infolog in D365 F&O ?

Using traditional way – Infolog.clear(…)? This sometimes won’t work as expected. Hence, you can use the MessageId(Int64) field to be captured and removed using the message API.

Message::Remove(messageId)

Sample code:

[ExtensionOf(formStr(VendTable))]

final class VLSVendTableForm_Extension

{

    public static RefRecId messageId;

    public void init()

    {

        next init();

        messageId = Message::Add(MessageSeverity::Warning, "Extension of vendor form");

    }

 

Message::Remove(messageId);
