Business value

In 2024 release wave 1, the developer tools for Copilot in Business Central introduced Copilot prompt actions, a new way to draw attention to Copilot capabilities in your extensions. A prompt action is a standard action, which is rendered with greater prominence on the page, such as in a floating bar, and is connected to the Copilot brand.

In the first iteration, Business Central supported Copilot prompt actions on List, ListPart, Worksheet, and StandardDialog page types. To help with more Copilot experiences and address partner feedback, we're now introducing support for Copilot prompt actions on Card, Document, and ListPlus page types.

Feature details

You can now use Copilot prompt actions on Card, Document, and ListPlus page types to nudge users to use your Copilots on such pages. The required AL code follows the same model as when adding Copilot prompt actions to list pages.

As an example, this code adds four prompt actions to the Customer Card via a page extension, where two of the Copilot prompt actions are nested in a group.

pageextension 50110 "Customer with prompt" extends "Customer Card"
{
    actions
    {
        addlast(Prompting)
        {
            action(DraftWithCopilot)
            {
                Caption = 'Draft with Copilot';
                Ellipsis = true;
                trigger OnAction()
                begin
                    Message('Draft with Copilot pressed');
                end;
            }
            action(OpenModal)
            {
                Caption = 'Open Modal';
                Ellipsis = true;
                trigger OnAction()
                begin
                    RunModal(22);
                end;
            }
            group(PromptGroup)
            {
                action(PromptAction1)
                {
                    trigger OnAction()
                    begin
                        Message('PromptAction1 pressed');
                    end;
                }
                action(PromptAction2)
                {
                    trigger OnAction()
                    begin
                        Message('PromptAction2 pressed');
                    end;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

The example results in the user experience on the customer card shown in the following image.

The base application already uses Copilot prompt actions on cards—for example, on the Bank Reconciliation card where it provides multiple Copilot actions.
