Adding Zetadocs to a Business Central Page

This chapter demonstrates how to add the Zetadocs Delivery Send Actions and Zetadocs Capture Factbox to a Business Central Page.  The examples in this document are for Sales Quotes and can be extended or modified to suit your needs.

 

Adding the Zetadocs FactBox to a page 

 

You will have to create a Per Tenant Extension with a Page Extension to add the Zetadocs Factbox to an existing page. 

 

The factbox can be added to the following page types: 

 

The code example below shows how to add the Zetadocs factbox to a page: 

 

   layout 

    { 

        addfirst(FactBoxes) 

        { 

            part(ZddWebClient; "Zetadocs Web Rel. Docs. Page") 

            { 

                ApplicationArea = All; 

                Visible = ZddIsFactboxVisible; 

            } 

        } 

    } 

 

    var 

        ZddPrevRecID: RecordID; 

        ZddIsFactboxVisible: Boolean; 

        ZddIsActionsVisible: Boolean; 

        ZddIsOnAfterGetCurrRecordInitialised: Boolean; 

 

    trigger OnAfterGetCurrRecord() 

    var 

        ZdCommon: Codeunit "Zetadocs Common"; 

        ZdRecRef: RecordRef; 

    begin 

        if not ZddIsOnAfterGetCurrRecordInitialised then begin 

            // Inside OnAfterGetCurrRecord to work around BC sometimes not triggering it 

            ZddIsOnAfterGetCurrRecordInitialised := true; 

            ZddIsFactboxVisible := ZdCommon.IsFactboxVisibleForPage(CurrPage.OBJECTID(FALSE)); 

        end; 

 

        if GuiAllowed then begin 

            ZdRecRef.GetTable(Rec); 

            if ZdRecRef.Get(ZdRecRef.RecordId) and (ZdRecRef.RecordId <> ZddPrevRecID) then begin 

                ZddPrevRecID := ZdRecRef.RecordId; 

                CurrPage.ZddWebClient.PAGE.SetRecordID(ZdRecRef.RecordId); 

                CurrPage.ZddWebClient.PAGE.Update(false); 

            end; 

        end; 

    end; 

 

 

Adding the Zetadocs Send Actions Items to a page 

 

 

In Zetadocs Delivery, there are three action items added to the menu of a Business Central Page.  The Zetadocs “Actions” are Send, Outbox, and Rules. These menu items are added to the Processing menu, under actions, and then under the group “Zetadocs”.

The actions Outbox and Rules have a RunObject parameter to open a Page when clicked. The Send action has a trigger to run code when clicked. 

 

The trigger for OnAction has specific report selection to the page in question.  Please keep in mind this line of code will need to be modified to match the report to send.  

 

 

Adding the Zetadocs Send and Capture as an extension

                        ZdServerSend.SendViaZetadocs(ZdRecRef, ZdReportId, '', true); 

                    end;

        ZddIsActionsVisible: Boolean; 

        ZddIsOnAfterGetCurrRecordInitialised: Boolean; 

 

    trigger OnOpenPage() 

    var

    begin 

        ZddIsActionsVisible := ZdCommon.IsActionsVisibleForPage(CurrPage.OBJECTID(FALSE)); 

    end; 

 

    trigger OnAfterGetCurrRecord() 

    var 

        ZdCommon: Codeunit "Zetadocs Common"; 

        ZdRecRef: RecordRef;

        if not ZddIsOnAfterGetCurrRecordInitialised then begin 

            // Inside OnAfterGetCurrRecord to work around BC sometimes not triggering it 

            ZddIsOnAfterGetCurrRecordInitialised := true; 

            ZddIsFactboxVisible := ZdCommon.IsFactboxVisibleForPage(CurrPage.OBJECTID(FALSE)); 

        end; 

 

        if (GuiAllowed and ZddIsFactboxVisible) then begin 

            ZdRecRef.GetTable(Rec); 

            if ZdRecRef.Get(ZdRecRef.RecordId) and (ZdRecRef.RecordId <> ZddPrevRecID) then begin 

                ZddPrevRecID := ZdRecRef.RecordId; 

                CurrPage.ZddWebClient.PAGE.SetRecordID(ZdRecRef.RecordId); 

                CurrPage.ZddWebClient.PAGE.Update(false); 

            end; 

        end; 

    end; 

 

Report Link Setup

A step needs to be taken to configure the report printing correctly, this can be done in the Zetadocs Report Settings page, a new record should be created for the Report Id defined in ZdReportSelections.Usage::"SM.Order" , for example Service Order is report 5900, select a Document Set to apply to this report, then finally setup the Report Mappings, this consists of selecting the appropriate table and filter to apply. More details on the Report Settings page can be found here.

 

Display the Zetadocs Factbox only for licensed users

By default, the Zetadocs Factbox will be displayed to all users. It can he hidden for specific users using the Business Central page personalizations.

If you want a more general approach, you can serve the Zetadocs Factbox to only Zetadocs licensed users. By doing so, the Factbox will only be visible if the current user is a Zetadocs Delivery Express or higher, or a Zetadocs Capture Express or higher.

To enable this behavior, navigate to the Zetadocs System Settings page. Add the entry 'ShowFactboxOnlyToLicensedUsers' and set the boolean column to true (tick the box).
