Syntax

    var
        myInt: Integer;

    trigger OnBeforeOpen()

    end;
}

page 50111 CustomerSourceTable
{
    PageType = List;
    ApplicationArea = All;
    UsageCategory = Administration;
    SourceTable = Customer;
    QueryCategory = 'Customer';

    layout
    {
        area(Content)
        {
            group(GroupName)
            {
                field(Name; Name)
                {
                    ApplicationArea = All;

                }
            }
        }
    }

    actions
    {
        area(Processing)
        {
            action(ActionName)
            {
                ApplicationArea = All;

                trigger OnAction()
                begin

                end;
            }
        }
    }
}

Remarks

With this functionality, you can create your own queries through extensions and then have them assigned to a main list page by setting the QueryCategory property. This way you can direct users to related information based on a query even where the data is not coming from a single table.

For the syntax examples above, when page CustomerSourceTable is opened in the client, query QueryWithCategories will be available as a view. QueryWithCategories could also be used on other pages by setting the QueryCategory of the pages to either 'Customer' or 'Items'.
