How to show documents added to the doc.box in all relevant places?

Use Case:

The doc.box add-on makes document capture and management easy. However, to make sure you can use it in the best way possible, some setup needs to be done. For example, if you want to show documents not only in the place that you added them, but also in other relevant places.

If you do not set this up, documents that you added to a Sales Quote will not be shown in the following Sales Order and on the Customer card.

Let’s see how you can make documents available in all the relevant places in Business Central!

HowTo: Set up the Default View for all Tables in Business Central with acadon_doc.box

01

Start at the doc.box Table Setup.

02

A list opens with all relevant Table numbers. Here you can setup several things, including where the documents you add to a Table are shown. For this, you use the Default View column.

03

In the Default View column, you see the several options:

  • Dataset: This is the default option. When choosing this, documents added to anything that includes this Table, will only be shown for that particular thing. For example, if you set this for the Sales Header table, documents added to a Sales Quote, will not be shown in the following Sales Order.
  • Transaction: When choosing this, documents added to anything that includes this Table, will be shown for anything that is part of the transaction. For example, if you set this for the Sales Header table, documents added to a Sales Quote, will also be shown in the following Sales Order.
  • Extended Transaction: When choosing this, documents added to anything that includes this Table, will be shown for anything that is part of the extended transaction. For example, if you set this for the Sales Header table, documents added to a Sales Quote, will also be shown in a connected Purchase Order.
  • Account: When choosing this, documents added to anything that includes this Table, will be shown in the corresponding account. For example, if you set this for the Customer table, documents added to a Sales Quote for this Customer, will also be shown on the Customer card.
