Whenever I setup Cues for customers in AX 2012 I use dynamic filtering to create actionable cues representing relevant data. I do tend to forget the precise name of the methods and number of parenthesis etc. so here is the full list of end-user available methods based on the SysQueryRangeUtil class:
Most used:
Name | Used how | Example |
dayRange | (dayRange(-1,2)) gives a query result of all records from yesterday until the day after tomorrow. Note that it is unfortunately not possible to use decimals, only full days work. | ![image001]() |
day | (day(-1)) gives all records of yesterday, (day(1)) gives records of tomorrow. Remember that options such as <(day(-1)) works for identifying for example any date before yesterday | ![image003]() |
monthRange | (monthRange(-1,0)) last month and this month | ![image005]() |
yearRange | (yearRange(-1,0)) last year and this year | ![image007]() |
lessThanDate lessThanUtcDate lessThanUtcNow | (lessThanDate(-1)) (calculated from the AX session date) (lessThanUtcDate(-1) The date represented on the AOS (lessthanUtcNow()) Calculates from “Now” | ![image009]() |
greaterThanDate GreaterThanUtcDate greaterThanUtcNow | greaterThanDate(5)) (calculated from the AX session date) (greaterThanUtcDate(-1) The date represented on the AOS) (greaterthanUtcNow()) Calculates from “Now” | ![image011]() |
currentUserId | (currentuserid()) Take the user id and filter on for example “created by” Good for making a generic query relevant for the individual users, forexample a Cue along the lines of “Sales orders I have created” | ![image013]() |
currentWorker | (currentWorker()) A somewhat advanced option but nice for filtering on records where you have assigned for example a sales responsible. Note that the value returned is a record ID For example for a cue along the lines of “Sales orders I am responsible for” | ![image015]() |
currentParty | (currentparty()) Similar to the currentWorker but could potentially be used if the user was something other than a Worker. Note the returned value is a record id. | ![image017]() |
currentCompany | (currentcompany()) For filtering on “system” tables such as the worker table | ![image019]() |
Remember also the ability to compare two fields on the same table using the AOT names within a set of parenthesis. The system names can be found on the personalization screen. Just recently I have used it forexample in the below example to compare reequested ship date and confirmed ship date on a sales order (back) lines.
