Extending the "Files" menu

0
votes

I have a process that involves extending the "Files" menu that is located on (most) acumatica pages (next to notes and activities in the top right)

I would like to add two columns to the table that appears in the smartpanel.

I have been looking for the source code/data behind this smart panel and I cant seem to find it, is it tied into SM202520 (search in files)? Can it be extended?

Am I better off just adding a PXAction button to the 3 or 4 pages I want my extended "files" menu to be?

Thanks

There's no DataView bound to that dialog, you can verify that by using inspect element shortcut key CTL+ALT+CLICK on a grid column header: enter image description here

In order to be customized the grid needs to be bound to a DataView which inspect element reveals it is not. The lack of DataView binding is by design and therefore that dialog can't be customized.

A grid that can be customized will show the View Name property: enter image description here
