Partition in Dynamics 365 Operations and Finance
Partition is used to separate the data within its boundaries from the data in other partitions. A partition enables you to isolate the data in the partition from users who are not authorized to access the data.
To create a new partition, you can put the partition form name at the end of the AX client URL.
https://usnconeboxax1aos.cloud.onebox.dynamics.com/?f=partitionadministration
To login to the partition, use similar URL parameter by adding the partition name.

Custom fields: handle with care!
The Microsoft team did release platform update 13 for Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, Enterprise edition. One of the new features is Custom fields. This feature lets a power user or system administrator configure new fields on existing tables without using the development environment and deploy it on the other environments. It is a neat feature which can be of interest, but you also have to be aware of all pitfalls and downsides. In this post, I will tell you more about the custom fields.
What are the custom fields?
When you are in the need for some additional details on a customer, vendor or worker, usually you would ask a developer for creating fields in the tables and add them on the form using extensions. Then a deployable package is used to move the changes to your production environment. With the new feature in platform update 13, you can now configure the fields. The reason for adding this feature by Microsoft is to provide an easy and cost-effective solution to add simple details to existing tables and use them within Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations. Using the configuration option, you could save on development, testing and code life cycle.
The process is very easy. Of course, not all users can do it themselves. You have to be a system administrator or have the role Runtime customization power user assigned. It is described on the next documentation page: Custom fields
The next screenshots show some of the steps to create a new field on the customer table which represents a legacy/old customer number. As mentioned in the documentation, start with personalizing the form:
There are options to define your custom field:
Once completed and reloaded the form, you can maintain the new field:
Difference with the development approach
When configuring fields, you cannot control things like indexes and coding to validate or automate entry. These options are available when a developer will create a field in the meta data. When a field is created in the meta data and deployed on all environments, it would also be possible to include this field in new or customized reports. So, it is not possible to configure a field and have the field visible in the development environment for reporting. It is possible to add a configured field to data entities on runtime.
Within an implementation, you have to careful consider if you want to configure a field or needs to have more control options and let a developer create an extension. Fields in the application metadata are more sustainable. In advance, you should know the purpose of this field.
Some important limitations of configured custom fields are:
- Not able to add business logic as it requires coding. (Side note: my company has a Data Validation Framework add-on available which also handles the custom fields)
- Not able to add indexes on runtime. Searching on the field in larger tables can cause slowness.
- Not able to add the field on existing reports.
- Showing the field on forms is done with personalization. Users should add the new field themselves or an administrator can copy a template to all or selected users.
- You cannot control the size of the field. E.g. text fields created with 100 characters will be displayed in a smaller single line field. It is not possible to enlarge the field or make it a multi line.
Expose custom fields on data entities
It is possible to include the new configured fields on existing entities using the Custom fields maintenance form. When enabled, you can use the field in the Data Management features and Open in Excel. Using data management, you could use reporting tools like Power BI to expose your custom field.
![]()
Under the hood
Under the hoodWhen you do configure a custom field, Dynamics 365 will create runtime table extensions and also a physical field on the table in the database.
There are some limitations defined by Microsoft. These constraints were added to prevent issues like performance degradation. The next rules are valid for tables (taken from the documentation):
- The table must be tagged as one of these groups: Group, WorksheetHeader, Main, Miscellaneous, Parameter, Reference, TransactionHeader
- The table cannot not extend another table.
- The table cannot be marked as a system table.
- The table cannot be a temporary table.
When creating a picklist field, a list with possible values are maintained in a table which will be used as lookup when entering the data.
I have tested the custom fields on a table of our own add-on which was also working correctly. Technically, Microsoft did a very good job here.
Also, there is a maximum on the number of fields to be added on a single table using the configurable custom fields option. The maximum number is 20. When creating fields, be careful with lengthy text fields. Too many longer text fields will cause growth of the record size which could lead to performance penalties. Though, it is a bit strange that 20 fields are allowed, where the best practice check in Visual Studio will give a warning if you create more than 10 in one extension.
Handle with care
As stated, there are limitations and you should not provide access to every user to be able to create their own fields. I do think configuring the custom fields should be considered very carefully. Showing the custom fields are presented to the user as form personalization. If a system administrator will push a new “form layout” to all users, earlier created personalizations will be overwritten. Also, a user could easily remove the field himself or reset the personalization without knowing he is losing the new field. So possibly development would be more expensive, but there is a better governance that it will not have negative side effects. If you run into problems, troubleshooting is also costing money…
As mentioned above, searching on non indexed fields and too many large text fields can cause performance issues.
A fellow MVP, Ievgen Miroshnikov, found another danger. A developer could add a table extension ending with _SysCustomFields and add the field with exact the same name (in my example OldNumber_Custom). Then deploy it to an environment where the custom field was created. Assuming the custom field record is not required anymore, delete the field from the configuration. It will then forget that it was included in a deployable package and the field will be physically removed from the database. So, never, ever use fields as developer end with ‘_custom’ and don’t user table extension names ending with ‘_SysCustomFields’. Usually we would not use these keywords, but thinking to “move” the configuration to development based extensions could lead to assumptions and one attempt. So, you are alerted now! Read below for a work around…
Move custom field to development environment
Like stated above, it is not possible to move the custom field one-on-one to Visual Studio. The best would be developing a complete new field as extension (different naming convention). Also extend standard data entity with the new field. Once these changes are deployed , you have an environment with two fields for the same. Export the data using data management. Then you can import it into the new field. Once you have checked this was successfully completed, you can delete the custom field.
There is more…
It is not documented by Microsoft, but you can enable database logging on the custom fields. Just like any ordinary field, you can select the custom field in the list for updates logging.
If you want to learn more about this feature, I will host a MVP session for the AXUG on this topic on Monday, February 12 at 9 AM EST (3PM CET).
That’s all for now. Till next time!

D365 platform update 12 (7.3): Admin access changes
The Microsoft team did release platform update 12 for Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, Enterprise Edition 7.3. There have been few changes concerning accessibility (admin access on VMs).
Starting with platform update 12 users do not have admin access to D365 VMs hosted on the Microsoft subscription.
Which means:
1. You can only log in with the "builtin\Userxxxxxxxxx" account and not the “builtin\axlocaladmin” account anymore.
 |
| Prior to PU12 7.3 |
 |
| With PU12 7.3 |
2. IIS Express is used as the web server instead of IIS
3. IIS Express runs when Visual Studio is running (if Visual Studio is closed there is no more access to D365)
4. Visual Studio cannot be run as Administrator anymore (you are not local admin anymore on your development VM L ). Just double click Visual Studio shortcut or run it from start.
Admin access to development virtual machines can only be achieved with following options;
1. Host a development VM on a separate Azure subscription
2. Deploy VM with an older platform update than PU12 and then upgrade platform update (This option will not work for 7.3)

[D365/AX7] How to: Create number sequence
Number sequences are used to generate readable, unique identifiers for master data records and transaction records that require identifiers. A master data record or transaction record that requires an identifier is referred to as a reference.
On this example, we are going to create a new number sequence for customer group.
Create a new class that extends the NumberSeqModuleCustomer class and then create the method loadModule_Extension and add the following code:
class NumberSeqModuleCustomer_CFS extends NumberSeqModuleCustomer
{
public void loadModule_Extension()
{
NumberSeqDatatype datatype = NumberSeqDatatype::construct();
datatype.parmDatatypeId(extendedTypeNum(CustGroupId));
datatype.parmReferenceHelp("Customer group ID");
datatype.parmWizardIsContinuous(false);
datatype.parmWizardIsManual(NoYes::No);
datatype.parmWizardIsChangeDownAllowed(NoYes::Yes);
datatype.parmWizardIsChangeUpAllowed(NoYes::Yes);
datatype.parmWizardHighest(999);
datatype.parmSortField(20);
datatype.addParameterType(NumberSeqParameterType::DataArea, true, false);
this.create(datatype);

Important: As we can see on Application Explorer, NumberSeqModuleCustomer belongs to Application Suite model, make sure the model which you are using for development extends this model.
Like in Dynamics AX 2012, we still have to initialize the references manually by creating a Job (Runnable class) with the following code:
class loadNumSeq_CFS
{
public static void main(Args _args)
{
NumberSeqModuleCustomer_CFS numberSeqMod = new NumberSeqModuleCustomer_CFS();
numberSeqMod.loadModule_Extension();
}
}
Before proceeding build the solution and run it.
On Dynamics 365, go to Organization administration/Common/Number sequence:
Click on Generate button:
It will open Number Sequences Wizard, click on Next button:
Note the number sequence codes and click on the Next button:
On the last page, click on the Finish button to complete the setup:
The last thing we should create is a method to consume our newly created Number Sequence, we are going to create a new extension class of CustParameters table and call it CustParameters_Extension.
[ExtensionOf(tableStr(CustParameters))]
final class CustParameters_Extension
{
client server static NumberSequenceReference numRefCustGroupId()
{
return NumberSeqReference::findReference(extendedTypeNum(CustGroupId));
}
}
And that’s all the steps. Soon I will be posting how to use our Number Sequence.
If you have any doubt about D365 extensibility, I recommend to read Tayfun Yaman’s 3 parts post about it.

AX Performance Monitor 101 – Setup Perfmon for continuous monitoring with rolling files
Windows Performance Monitor (PerfMon) is likely the most useful tool (together with our DynamicsPerf package) to monitor and diagnose performance problems related with your Microsoft Dynamics AX infrastructure and, in general, for any software running on Windows operating systems. Given its importance, is surprising how many people is not using it properly or, even worst, is not using...![]()
