Session extension point

A session extension is used to add fields and commands to the session screen. This applies both to overview screens (grids) and detail screens.

For example to:

Add the number of Purchase Orders for a Business Partner on the BP overview.
Show the current weather for a Service Order location.
Link a new developed print session to an overview session.
Link a new developed report to a print session.

Fields and commands that are added by the session extension are automatically visible in the session. With the form personalization options, fields can be moved to the desired location and commands can be added to the toolbar.

For the session extension point, these extension types are available:

Session
Table selection
Secondary Table
Standard Linked Report
Custom Linked Report
Customer Defined Field
Standard Field
Custom Field
Calculated field
Standard Command
Standard Form Command

Note: The extension types that are available for a session extension depend on the type of session.

Note on filtering: You can filter on fields that are added by Table Selections. You can also filter on Calculated Fields, except the ones that are calculated with Expression Type “Function”.
