Info Part in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012




Info Part is basically used as a fact box on list pages and detail pages.

 The Perfect Definition of infopart is:

An Infolog is a type of part that you use to add a collection of fields and values to the fact box pane of a form, or a preview pane of a list page.

You can see the image of the fact box in the below image:












Now the Scenario is that we have to show the total of budget amount against each earning type for each position on the list page.

To do this we have to create the Query first.which fetch and calculate the sum against each earning type.

After creating the query we have to create our Info Part.

Just go to the Parts -> InfoParts node of the AOT and right click and than create new info part.

As you see this in the below image:

 Now just right click your newly created info part and than set the name of the your query that we have created in the first step.

As you can see this in the below image.




Now right click the layout node and than set the name of the parent datasource that you have made inside of your query.

As you can see this in the below image.




Now go to the group node and than set the name of the parent datasource and if you want to show more than one record in the fact box than you can set the repeating property to yes.

As you can see this in the below image.






Now right click the group node and than select new field.The fields inside the group node are the fields which you want to show on the fact box.

right click that field node and than select the datasource name and the field name and than name the label to that field.

As you can see this in the below image.





Now create the menu item and than set the object type of this menuitem to info part and the object to name of the infopart.

As you can see this in the below image.




Now go to the parts node of your list page or detail page on which you want to show the fact box and than right click than create new part reference and than set the following properties.





Now open your form your fact box should be exactly like this.
