D365 Custom Log

Dynamics 365 ERP - Development

Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations can log information in different ways, but having a custom log table and form can provide detailed information on complex processes.
A custom log table can store specific pieces of information tied to transactions, making issue resolution easier across many records.
Custom log tables can store relevant values along with messages, unlike infolog messages, which may not be detailed enough.
Creating a custom log table involves adding fields like 'Message' and 'LogRefRecId,' as well as setting the 'CreatedDateTime' property to sort log messages.
A helper method on the custom log table can simplify the process of inserting log records.
Creating a workbench form that joins the log table to the transaction table can display transaction information and related log messages.
Adding logging to the process involves creating a button to simulate running a process and inserting log records.
Additionally, a method can be added to show log messages immediately, improving user visibility into the process.
