Dynamics 365 F&O table browser Extension

This small browser extension allows you to quickly navigate to the table browser of the Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations environment you have in your active browser tab. It asks for an AOT table name and on confirmation it will open a new tab with the table browser of the specified table. This can be very handy during an implementation when you are working on several environments at the same time (TEST-UAT-PROD).

There's no validation, so some AOT experience is necessary. For example: if you want to look at the vendors in the system you should know that this is stored in the \"VendTable\".

You can configure your browser so that the extension opens with a keyboard shortcut in the \"Manage extensions\" screen. By that, opening the table browser goes very fast.

Note that this extension only works with Dynamics 365 F&O cloud environments. On-premise installations are not supported.

Anton Ivanov (ID: 000000409269e5b9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/14/2022 Simple and great extension, a great help on the job - thanks to the creator! Those who work with multiple D365 environments simultaneously in different browser windows are gratefully waiting for a fix for a non-critical bug in the extension (when opening the table browser for an environment from the first browser window only).

bradwww (ID: 000000ff7764dd46) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/14/2021 It's not a browser, it just builds the URL for you. Would be just as easy to edit the URL directly or save some shortcuts.
