Dynamics AX2012 Menu Items Type

Type Display,output,Action 各自用途

1. Display Menu item

This folder is used to contain menu items that reference runnable objects which are primarily for presenting data to the user such as forms and dialog’s.

2. Output Menu item

An output menu item should have the soul purpose to print a result, mostly used for referencing classes.

3. Action Menu item

As the name says it, you should create a menu item under this folder if your runnable object has an action to perform, for example creating or updating data.

So choosing between these three is on the developers sole discretion and I hope now you’ll be able to make a better choice for your scenario. A basic rule of thumb is:

Display – for Form

Output  – for Report

Action   – for classes.
