System and Common Properties

Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012

Most application objects in the Application Object Tree (AOT) have a standard set of system properties. The system properties are read-only.

In Microsoft Dynamics AX, the properties for any item in the AOT can be seen in the Properties window. To start the Properties window, right-click an AOT node, and then click Properties. On the Categories tab in the Properties window, many system properties are listed under the Statistics node.

This topic lists additional common properties that are repeated on many, but not all AOT nodes.

The following table shows the system properties that are found on almost all AOT nodes. All are read-only.

ConfigurationKey

Specifies the configuration key that controls access to or display of an element. If a user does not have access to the configuration key, the element will not be visible.

Elements include forms, controls on forms, tables, and other elements.

AX 2012

LegacyID

Specifies an identifier element from a previous version of Microsoft Dynamics AX. During an upgrade from a previous version, the old identifier will be assigned to LegacyID. An installation-specific identifier will not be assigned, and business logic will remain intact. This is not used for new elements.

AX 2012

NeededAccessLevel

Defines the minimum access level required for a user. Read-only.

AX 2012

Origin

Specifies a GUID that uniquely identifies any AOT element. The value never changes after it is assigned by the system. No Origin GUID value is duplicated anywhere in the system.

This property is used to identify elements during synchronization and in upgrade scenarios. Read-only.

AX 2012

SecurityKey

Obsolete, but retained for reference in systems that were upgraded from an earlier version of Microsoft Dynamics AX
