Page Extension Overview in Business Central:
(1) In this blog, we will discuss the extension of Page in BC D365. You can extend existing page objects, similar to how you extend tables and reports. With page extensions, you can extend an existing page by:
- Adding “New Field” or column to “Existing Page Layout“.
- Adding “Triggers” and adding code or logic in the “Existing Triggers”.
- Adding “Action or Buttons” and modifying the “Existing Button Logic”.
- Adding “New Layouts” and Modifying the “Existing Layout”.
- Adding “New Properties” and Modifying the “Existing Properties”.
