If you use dimensions within Business Central, you have the ability to add either the dimension value, description, or both to any Business Central Popdock list. In order to view Business Central Dimensions within a Popdock list, your list must have a Dimension Set ID and the Dimension Values list added to your Business Central connector. This article will outline the steps for both adding dimensions and viewing them on your Business Central lists in Popdock.
Adding the Dimension Values list to Your Business Central Connector
1. Select Connectors from the left navigation to open the Connectors page.
2. Locate your Business Central Connector from your list of Connectors and select the Edit to the right of the connector. From within the Edit connector, select Lists.
3. Select Add Lists in the top right corner of the page. From the Add lists window, type Dimension Values into the search box. Check the box next to the Dimension Values list and then select Add.
4. Popdock will then populate this list into your Business Central Connector. Once available, it will appear under your lists.
Adding Business Central Dimensions to a List
