It would be great to have the ability to control the accessiblity of certain DocuRef records (probably based on their type) by a grouping criterion over several users or - even better - by security roles.

More concrete: I envision this as an assignment option for security roles in form Document types with an option for read/write.

 

Side note: We created something similar before in AX2012 (utilizing XDS) but it turned out to be performing too badly and so we needed to remove it and tell our customers we cannot fulfil this requirement.

If you take traces (via Settings > Trace) the resulting .etl files are rather huge (limited to 1GB by default). We found that they are very compressible if you simply zip them to an archive and usually do that before handing them over. I think it would be good to compress them right after creation to save space in the database (where they are kept until downloaded) and reduce download times and traffic. The trace I just created was a 210MB download and is less than 10MB in a zip file.

I often use the type filter in Application Explorer, especially when the expected result is quite big (e.g. when you search for "custtable" or "salesline" and such). So usually I add the type. If I need to see the table the search term would be: salesline type:"table" The problem is you do not get the full picture because table extensions are only displayed if you search for them explicitly: salesline type:"table extension" My suggestion is to change the behavior of the first term and display both tables and their extensions. Explicit search for table extensions could remain the same or be removed. The same goes for other types like forms/form extensions, EDTs/EDT extensions, etc.
