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.
1. From the main menu, select Widgets. Select the widget you want to publish and then select the Edit icon.
2. On the Widgets tab, scroll down to the Environment section. Under the Environment section, you have the ability to embed your Popdock widget in the FactBox or FastTab of any page within your Business Central Sandbox. Select your Connector, Page, and Section, where you want to embed the 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.
4. Once you have selected the environment you would like to publish to and have set up your environment parameter, your widget is ready to publish to your Business Central Sandbox. Edit your Business Central connector and then select Publish.
5. Select Publish and then select the widgets you want to publish. Then select Publish.
6. If published successfully, you will see a pop window with the message “Your widget has been successfully published.” You can proceed to your Business Central sandbox environment to view your widget.
