Cue Groups and Cues

Now we'll focus on Page 9060 - SO Processor Activities. Designing that page, we see the following layout. Comparing the controls we see there to those of the Role Center, we can see this Page Part is the source of the Activities section of the Role Center Page. There are three CueGroup Controls - ForRelease, Sales Orders Released Not Shipped, and Returns. In each CueGroup, there are the Field Controls for the individual Cues:

An individual Cue is displayed as an iconic shortcut to a filtered list through a FlowField, or to a Query or other data source through a Normal field. The stack of papers in the Cue icon resulting from a filtered value represents an idea of the number of records in that list. The actual number of entries is also displayed next to the icon (see the Sales Orders - Open example in the following screenshot).

The Stack image is the default icon for a Cue and changes automatically based on the data. If required, the icon can be changed into any of several hundred other images. A very useful tool for finding these images can be found on Mibuso at https://mibuso.com/downloads/dynamics-nav-image-library.

The purpose of this type of Cue is to provide a single-click point of access to a specific user task. The set of these Cues is intended to represent the full set of primary activities for a user based on their work Role:

NAV 2017 provides another Cue format (such as the Average Days Delayed Cue in the preceding screenshot), which is based on a calculated value stored in a Normal field.
