Add-Ins Submenu

Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012

In Microsoft Dynamics AX, the Add-Ins submenu in the Application Object Tree (AOT) shortcut menu is context-sensitive. This means that the available commands in the Add-Ins submenu are dependent on the node selected. This topic lists and describes the commands that are available on the Add-Ins menu.

On the Command menu, find shortcut menu commands that are not context-sensitive. A command that is executed from the Command menu retrieves information about all elements in the AOT.

You can customize and add more commands to the Add-Ins menu. For more information, see How to: Add Items to the AOT Add-Ins Menu.

The following table lists commands that are available on the Add-Ins menu.
