Remarks
Some of these client types don't allow AL code that interacts with the user, such as using the methods Dialog.Open, Dialog.Update, Window.Open, Window.Update, or System.Error.
If the same codeunit needs to run both in the UI and also in the background (in a scheduled task or with a job queue entry), or in a web service call (SOAP/OData/API), then use if GuiAllowed() then calls to encapsulate AL code that interacts with the user. For more information, see System.GuiAllowed() Method.
