When a Dynamics AX project comes to an end it is time to create a system configuration document and present it to the customer. Normally, it is a time-consuming task to manually go though all the parameter tables used and transfer their content to a document, in most of the cases, Word document.
Just recently, I created a small Dynamics AX job for myself, which helps me with this task, and I think it is worth sharing. The job reads the data from a defined list of parameter tables and dumps all the data into a Word document along with field labels. The only manual thing to do is to tidy up the document and send it to the customer.
In this recipe, we will explore the principle behind this. To make this example more interesting, we will integrate this function into Dynamics AX by means of the right-click context menu.
