This release was tested on a JustFood environment that had Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Fall 2018 cumulative update 1.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Fall 2018 Platform
JustFood was updated to work with the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Fall 2018 platform.
Important
When JustFood Fall 2018 is deployed on-premises, some features are not implemented. See Features not implemented in on-premises deployments of JustFood for more information.
New User Experience
The JustFood Web client has a fresh new look, which is now easier to use. The refreshed desktop experience focuses on improved layout of data, taking advantage of screen space, better data visibility and readability, and easier navigation through the entire application.
Modern Desktop Experience
With the new Web client experience, users get a more streamlined navigation with the Back button displayed prominently on the left of the page, and with special dynamic system commands occupying the middle section. These elements move the navigation closer to users, allowing them to stay focused on the data and task at hand.
Area | Description | |
---|---|---|
1 | Stacked Pages and Breadcrumbs | Multiple pages can be stacked on top of one another, and a bread crumb trail at the top of the page shows the previously opened pages. |
2 | Back Button | The Back button has replaced the X icon to close the page. |
3 | Edit/Add/Delete Actions | The Edit, Add and Delete actions have been removed from the ribbon, and are now displayed at the top of the page as icons. |
4 | Command Bar | The Command bar has replaced the ribbon leaving more room for content. Users can pin or unpin the actions. |
5 | FactBoxes | FactBoxes are displayed by clicking the Information icon . |
6 | Slim/Wide Mode | You can choose if a page is displayed in slim or wide mode, and JustFood will remember your preference. |
7 | Check Boxes | Check boxes are now slider controls. |
8 | Previous/Next Actions | The Previous and Next actions, which navigate between records, have been moved to the side of the page. |
Tell Me
Introducing Tell Me, an evolution of the Search for Page or Report capability.
As you type in the Tell Me page, we've broadened the scope to include actions from the current page that you can immediately activate.
Note
Actions that are in FastTabs or FactBoxes are not displayed in Tell Me. Also, Tell Me does not search for data, such as customer names, addresses, or transactions. Instead, you can search for data in list pages by choosing the Search icon in the left corner of a list header.
You can also use Tell Me to navigate to pages and reports across the application based on their page caption.
Access Tell Me from anywhere in the application using the Alt+Q keyboard shortcut, or by clicking the lightbulb icon .
See the Tell Me FAQ for more information.
Advanced Filtering in Web Client
Work efficiently in lists in JustFood by applying filters to multiple fields.
Anchored to the side of your lists, the new filter pane has a familiar design that is easy to learn and efficient to work with.
The filter pane allows you to:
Add as many filtered columns as you like.
Get assistance with specifying filter values using lookups or the field's data type.
Create complex filters using operators, ranges, formulas and the new filter tokens such as %MyCustomers. See Filter Tokens for more information.
Revert your filter changes back to the unfiltered view or predefined view of the list.
JustFood remembers the filters you applied throughout the session as you navigate back and forth across pages.
The filter pane is available on all pages where the list represents the primary content, such as worksheets. Lists embedded as list parts continue to use simple filtering.
Note
The ability to permanently save your changes as a filtered view will be available at a later date.
To display the Filter pane:
Use the Shift+F3 keyboard shortcut.
Click the Filter icon .
To filter lists:
Copy and Paste in Web Client

You can do the following:
Copy one or more rows in a list and paste them to the same (or similar) list.
Copy one or more rows and paste them into Microsoft Excel, including the column captions. Not using Excel? Most applications such as Microsoft Outlook allow pasting tabular content where the column captions will be displayed.
Copy one or more rows from Excel and paste them into JustFood.
Copy the data from the cell above by using the F8 keyboard shortcut.
See Copying and Pasting for more information.
To copy and paste rows:

-OR-
To copy multiple rows, you can:
Press Ctrl+Click on another row or press Shift+Click to select the row and all rows in between.

New Content
The following new content has been added to the JustFood help:
Useful Links
Frequently Asked Questions
Help Setup
JustFood was updated to point to the new JustFood Help URL. In order to activate the help, when installing or upgrading to JustFood Fall 2018, you need to remove the references to the old help system by updating the navsettings.json file.
Important
These steps are only intended for people who will be performing the install or upgrade for JustFood Fall 2018.
To update the navsettings.json file
Navigate to the location of your Web client files.
Typically, the location is C:\inetpub\wwwroot\DynamicsNAV130.
Open the navsettings.json file in Administrator mode.
Remove or comment out the following properties:
"//HelpServer": [ "Name of the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Help Server to connect to." ], "HelpServer": "", "//HelpServerPort": "The listening TCP port for the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Help Server. Valid range: 1-65535", "HelpServerPort": "49000",
Save the navsettings.json file.
Restart the service tier.
Restart the web site.
To update the context sensitive help
The context sensitive help is what allows the Help button to open a page in the help that is related to the page that you are on.
Open JustFood.
Choose the icon, enter JustFood Setup, and then choose the related link.
Choose the Initialize Page Documentation action.
This populates the Page Documentation system table (2000000198) with data that allows the context sensitive help to work.
Permissions
See Managing Users and Permissions for more information on permissions and permission sets.
Permission Sets
The following changes were made to permission sets:
The Type field was added, which has three possible values:
System: Permission sets that were provided with JustFood.
Extension: Permission sets that were added when an extension was installed.
User-Defined: Permission sets that were created by someone in your company either by creating a new permission set or by copying an existing permission set. You can modify the associated permissions for User-Defined permission sets.
When you copy an existing System permission set, you can now choose to be notified if the original permission set changes so that you can update the customized set if needed.
To receive notifications, you need to do the following:
On the My Notifications page, ensure the Original System permission set changed notification is set to Enabled.
When you copy a permission set from the Permission Sets page, on the Copy Permission Set page, select the Notify on Changed Permission Set check box.
Effective Permissions
For setup and troubleshooting, you need information on where the user’s permissions come from, and what the user’s entitlement (license) gives them access to.
From each user card, the new Effective Permissions page shows which permissions a user has and through which permission set(s) they are granted.
Platform Changes
GDPR Compliance
All of the JustFood fields were updated to be adhere to General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance.
Manual Setup
The JustFood Setup pages have been added to the Manual Setup page available from the Business Manager role center (Setup & Extensions>Manual Setup). This allows you to easily see what needs to be set up.
Role Centers
The Product Videos, Power BI Reports and My User Tasks parts were added to the following role centers:
Formula Management
Logistics Coordinator
Prev. Maintenance Technician
Quality Audit Processor
Trade Planner
Removed Functions
Global Groups
All references to the Global Group function were removed because this functionality no longer works with the extension-based development model. The Global Group List page was removed, and the Global Group fields on the Customer card, Vendor card and Item card were removed.
Product Group Code
All references to the Product Group Code field in the Item table were removed because this field has been removed from the base product.
Shop Floor Role Center
All references to the Shop Floor role center have been removed.
User-Defined Fields and Calculations
All references to User-Defined fields and calculations were removed because this functionality no longer works with the extension-based development model.
With the removal of the User-Defined fields, the upgrade toolkit contains a package of objects that can be used to save the old data to a new set of tables, which can then be used to pull the data back into new fields. The toolkit will save the data but the JustFood Customer team is responsible for creating the table extensions and pulling the data back into the new fields.
Roadnet Refactor
Roadnet was updated because it used user-defined calculations, which have been removed. The user-defined calculations have been replaced with events.
Any custom fields will need to be added through an extension.
Weigh Scale Integration
All of the existing weigh scale integration and references were removed because they were based on an unsupported OCX platform.
