Dynamics Ax 2012 FactBoxes

FactBoxes:

              A FactBox is used to display the data related to the currently selected record in the list page.

  

 There are three types of  Factboxes :

1) InfoPart.

2) FormPart.

3) Cues.

• InfoPart: 

 It is very simple to create and can display limited number of controls. It has its own data source and can also be displayed in Enterprise Portal.  

• FormPart:                                         

             It is a link to a Form and can  have the same controls as an standard form .It is displayed in the FactBox Section , So adding too many controls can crowd the form.

• Cues:

               It is used to display the Count of number of records related to the current record in the list page.
