Dynamics 365 for operations – Table extensions

Background Extensions are a new way to add functionality and custom code to the D365 system without changing the standard code. In fact, Microsoft has announced that edit standard elements like those that we have done in the past will not be possible after 2017. By using extensions, we can achieve the same result by simply extending the standard system => EXTENSIONS. To read more about the difference between overlaying and extensions follow this link https://ax.help.dynamics.com/en/wiki/customization-overlayering-and-extensions/#extensions Extending tables By using table extensions, we can create a new table that adds new fields, field groups, indexes, mappings, relations, methods, subscribe to event handlers and more.

This has been an issue for example for customers that have other portals based on Share Point as well as custom build ASP.NET web sites.

So in scenarios where you implement an EP site for a customer that has other portals and uses for example forms authentication, if you are not running Ax 2012 you have to have a special/dedicated log-on to EP. One of the biggest advantages is the fact that now external users do not have to be in Active Directory mixed up with all the internal users or located in an extra AD repository with all the administrative IT work l...

Remove HTML code from strings

When you work for example with the presentations DAX adds some HTML comment code to the text stored in the database. This can cause the text on the web to be displayed in incorrect format. This also takes up space in the database and makes the database file grow larger. <!--AXAPTA  MarginWidth="0" MarginHeight="0" WebletName="WebLet700062029" Type="WebPageWeblet" -->TEXT There is a nice X++ function: just call Web::stripHTML( string ), which will return the string without the HTML tags
