Exporting User changes to screens

CJBeattie

What is the best way to export users amendments to screen configurations etc?

When users configure and hide items etc, what is the best process to get those changes out of AX? It is my understanding that the changes are stored at a user database level, so whenever there is an AX update, or the user is removed, and reimported, those changes are lost?

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Assuming the users modify in USR layer, just export the USR from these objects.

Typically the USR changes have to be handled very carefully when you upgrade your application.

They are NOT stored at database level. Rather they are stored as Application object layer files (.aod). For ex - if users modify in USR layer, they will be stored as AxUSR.aod.

Please refer to standard Ax documentation for more info.

Any queries, please do not hesitate to post here.
