NAV 2015 Cues and data type Text

lvanvugt

The msdn help tells me that the enhanced cues in NAV 2015 can not only handle integer fields but also decimal and text fields.
The first is clear to me, but so far I haven't found out how to get a cue working meaningfully with a text field.
Any of you?

I added a decimal (flowfield) and a text field (editable = FALSE) in the cue page and both new fields displayed.
What are you doing with the text field. How are you populating it?

I added a text field to the sales cue file and populated it.
Then added it to the page with the other fields.
It displayed the text next time I brought it up.

Over the weekend I will try making a cue for IT Administrator, that whether NAS is running or not. Cue should display "Running" or "Stopped". Since NAV 2015 is not available in my country it will be only fun activity.

Anyone succed to have text shown in a cue, then please provide code example, and maybe a screen dump document to see how it looks like

Thx

Funny that it still doesn't work and msdn still says it should.

Hi,

As per my understanding, cue with Text field output can prove good for showing below reports on NAV Pages-
1. Top Customer or Salesperson
2. NAS or any service's running status
3. Any upcoming notifications related to Business Transactions
4. Any approval messages on Transactions

I think this is just a typo. Also in the MSDN is the line "You can only base Cues on integer and decimal data types. Other data types are not supported and will not display in a Cue.".
