  • Show report parameters alongside the report (SSRS) on screen

    Most SSRS Reports have parameters like filters, grouping and such. In the "good old days" of AX 2012, when you printed (on-screen) an SSRS Report, you had the section/fast tab "Options" above the report. You could open the tab, easily see what your parameters were, change them and refresh the report. This functionality is missing in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations. You need to go back to the navigation pane, click on the menu item and review the settings, at which point the report is no longer visible. Please enable viewing report parameters and the output simultaneously on screen. This was a great feature for experimenting with report parameters to find out the right settings for the information needs of a business user.
  • Enable deep links in table browser

    In normal forms on the GUI you have the option "Get a link" under OPTIONS Tab. Using that with a filter, you can use any desired filtering and get a direct, sharable URL link to the filtered records; this functionality is often referred to as "deep links". When showing data with the table browser (for example https://myinstancename.dynamics.com/?cmp=USMF&mi=Systablebrowser&tablename=salesline) you can still filter but there is no option to get a (deep) link. This functionality would be useful in development scenarios when you have a custom table with large amounts of data but no form available, and want to be able to find an often-used subset of records quickly.
