Popdock allows you to publish any Popdock Widget into your Business Central Sandbox FastTab or FactBox without having to write any AL code. Once published to your Business Central Sandbox, you can then promote your widget extension from your Business Central Sandbox to Production.

A Popdock widget will need to be created prior to following these steps. Click Here to learn how to create a Popdock widget.

For example, to publish your widget on the FastTab of the Customer Card, select Customer Card from the Page dropdown and Fast tab from the Section dropdown. Alternatively, if you want to publish your widget to the FactBox of the Customer Card, you will then select Fact box from the Section dropdown.

3. Select Parameters in the navigation pane and then select Environmental parameters. An environment parameter allows you to select values from the environment to pass through to the widget to restrict the data displayed. From the dropdown menus, select the Parameter, Parameter type, and Field you want to restrict the data off of within your widget.
