Pages

Pages provide views of data or processes that are designed for on-screen display (or exposure as web services), and also allow user data entry into the system. Pages act as containers for action items (menu options).

There are several basic types of display/entry pages in Business Central:

  • List
  • Card
  • Document
  • Journal/worksheet
  • List plus
  • Confirmation dialog
  • Standard dialog

There are also page parts (they look and program like a page, but aren't intended to stand alone), as well as UIs that display like pages, but are not page objects. The latter user interfaces are generated by various dialog functions. In addition, there are special page types, such as Role Center pages and Navigate pages (for wizards).
