Key Benefits

- Seamlessly integrates into the existing Business Central interface with no disruption to current processes.
Setup Guide
Prerequisites
- Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (compatible version).
- Sufficient permissions to install extensions (see Permission Sets Required).
Installation Steps
- Obtain the APP01 extension package from your administrator or AppSource.
- In Business Central, navigate to Extension Management via the search bar.
- Select Upload Extension and follow the prompts to install the APP01 package.

How to Use
New Field: 343434
After installation, a new field called 343434 (a code field up to 20 characters) is available on the extended table. This field can be used to store an additional reference code relevant to your business process.
Typical Workflow
- Open the relevant record in Business Central (the record type extended by this app).
- Locate the 343434 field on the page.
- Enter the appropriate code value (up to 20 characters).
- Save the record as usual.
Example Scenario
A user needs to tag records with a secondary classification code for reporting purposes. After installing APP01, they open each record, enter the classification code in the 343434 field, and save. This code can then be used for filtering, sorting, or reporting.
Permission Sets Required
Users need standard read/write permissions on the extended table to view and edit the new 343434 field. No additional custom permission sets are introduced by this extension. Ensure users have at least the default permissions for the affected table and page.
