Create custom Alert for AX with Go to Source support

To create an Alert in AX, you can use the class EventNotification and its derivates

I got some problems using these standard classes, particularly in making the button "Go to source" work.

To avoid those problem, here is some code that may help:

 public static void CreateAlert(str message,  
               str subject,  
               UserId userId = curUserId(),  
               NoYes showPopup = NoYes::Yes,  
               NoYes sendEmail = NoYes::No,  
               Common record = null,  
               str dataSourcename = '',  
               MenuFunction menuFunction = null)  
 {  
   EventInbox inbox;  
   DictTable table;  
   EventContextInformation eci;  
   EventInboxData inboxData;  
   Args args = new Args();  
   List list;  
   EventInboxId inboxId = EventInbox::nextEventId();  
   FormRun formRun;  
   WorkflowRecordCaptionGenerator recordCaptionGenerator;  
   UserInfo userInfo;  
   inboxId = EventInbox::nextEventId();  
   inbox.initValue();  
   inbox.ShowPopup      = showPopup;  
   inbox.Subject       = subject;  
   inbox.Message       = message;  
   inbox.SendEmail      = sendEmail;  
   inbox.EmailRecipient    = SysUserInfo::find().Email;  
   inbox.UserId        = userId;  
   inbox.InboxId       = inboxId;  
   inbox.AlertCreatedDateTime = DateTimeUtil::getSystemDateTime();  
   if (record)  
   {  
     table = new DictTable(record.TableId);  
     eci = new EventContextInformation();  
     if (!menuFunction)  
     {  
       menuFunction = new MenuFunction(table.formRef(),MenuItemType::Display);  
       if (!menuFunction)  
         throw error(strFmt("@SYS104114",table.formRef()));  
     }  
     //Build the data to drill down to from the notification  
     args.menuItemName(menuFunction.name());  
     args.menuItemType(MenuItemType::Display);  
     args.name(menuFunction.object());  
     eci.parmPackedArgs(args);  
     eci.parmAlertBuffer(record);  
     eci.parmAlertFormDsName(dataSourceName);  
     //eci.parmDontUseFormRunFromMenuItem(true);  
     inboxData.InboxId = inboxId;  
     inboxData.DataType = EventInboxDataType::Context;  
     inboxData.Data = eci.pack();  
     inboxData.insert();  
     inbox.AlertTableId = table.id();  
     inbox.ParentTableId = table.id();  
     recordCaptionGenerator = WorkflowRecordCaptionGenerator::construct(record);  
     inbox.AlertedFor = recordCaptionGenerator.caption();  
     list = SysDictTable::getUniqueIndexFields(table.id());  
     if (list)  
     {  
       inbox.keyFieldList(list.pack());  
       inbox.keyFieldData(SysDictTable::mapFieldIds2Values(list,record).pack());  
     }  
     inbox.CompanyId = record.company();  
   }  
   inbox.insert();  
 }  

To use this code

 static void Job155(Args _args)  
 {  
   InventTable inventTable;  
   select firstOnly inventTable;  
   DEVUtils::CreateAlert("message", "subject", curUserId(), true, false, inventTable, "InventTable", new MenuFunction(menuitemDisplayStr(EcoResProductDetailsExtended), MenuItemType::Display));  
 }
