New Print Destination in Dynamics 365 for Operations

-
A customization may require you to add a new report print destination. With the help of delegates and extensions it's quite simple to achieve that in D365FO:

1. Create an extension of the BaseEnum SRSPrintMediumType and add your new report destination:

2. Create your class which will have your customization relating to your new destination. Now subscribe to the delegate method onPrintReport in SRSPrintDestinationSettingsDelegates class and add your custom code:









3. Create an extension for SRSPrintDestinationSettingsForm and add your tabpage for your new destination:



4. Next thing is to add the code that will build your destination Tabpage and your destination list. This can be done by subscribing to the delegate methods in SRSPrintDestinationSettingsDelegates class:
  • Code for print medium type change event on the destination form
  • Code for building SendTo list control on the destination form





  • Code for the index selection change event on the destination form

5. And now you can see your new destination on the form:

Next thing is to create a handler class that will have all our event handlers. a. Firstly, we create a class with the reference to DocumentContract AX framework. In my case, I am also using Reporting framework. b. Let’s subscribe to the OnActivated event of the main DataSource which is DocuRef.
