With the introduction of "Saved Views", users are now able to create / save their own views. On top, developers have the option to include pre-defined views as part of an extension.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/devenv-views

It would be beneficial if platform support for views could get extended to:

- Use the AL "View" definition when running a page via an action (RunPageView). This would allow including views in the "Role Explorer" and as a result open the page positioned to the referenced view.

E.g. Imagine creating customer view "Blocked Customers". Adding an action in the Role Explorer referencing this view, would open the "Customer List" with the view "Blocked Customers" active.

- Add AL support to apply a pre-defined view on a Page variable using a "SetView" function / property. (This would avoid scenarios where Visible properties are toggled by code)

That would be a really great functionality and the closing of an existing gap. As alternative for a RunPageView would that be a very useful feature!

This would be a very good feature to support special customized lists. I can use it in different cases on different customers.

With this point, it would be much easier to provide the user with specially adapted lists.


You could provide the user with different lists in the navigation, e.g. for different customer groups. The user would then be faster and the developers would not have to reprogram the standard lists.
