Introduction
This document describes the Facility Management sample application for Microsoft Dynamics
AX 2012. This is a developer sample that provides examples of how to implement common
functionality in Microsoft Dynamics AX. Use it to learn how you could implement
functionality in your integrating applications. The following items are discussed:
 Facility Management Overview

 Prerequisites
 Installing Facility Management
 Setting up Facility Management
 Using Facility Management
 Data Model
 Resources in the Facility Management Sample
Facility Management Overview

The Facility Management sample application is an add-on module for Microsoft Dynamics
AX. It manages the data for the rooms in a facility. It also manages the work orders that
workers create to have work done for rooms in the facility. The sample application
demonstrates several common features in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012.
Role Center
The Facility Management application provides a Facility Manager role center profile and
corresponding role center page. Users who are assigned to the Facility Manager role center
profile will see this role center page as the default page in Microsoft Dynamics AX and in
Enterprise Portal.

Area Page
The Area Page for the Facility Management module provides a central location where all of
the resources in the module can be accessed.
List Pages
The Facility Management module contains two List Pages. One displays room information.
The other displays work order information.

Forms
Several forms are included in the Facility Management application. Some forms, such as
Rooms or Work Orders, are standard data entry forms.
Other forms, such as Facility Management parameters, are used to configure the
application.
Reports
The Facility Management module has reports such as a Room List and Work Order List.

Workflow
A Work Order Approval workflow is implemented for the Work Orders form in the Microsoft
Dynamics AX client and the Work Order Details page in Enterprise Portal. Using this
workflow, a worker creates a work order and submits it for approval. A manager reviews the
work order. If the manager approves, the work requested can be performed.
Enterprise Portal Integration

The Facility Management sample implements the Facility web module to provide access to
room and work order data through Enterprise Portal. Users can view, edit, and create new
rooms and work orders. Room and work order reports are available. Users can also perform
workflow actions as a work order moves through the work order approval process.

Prerequisites
Before you use the Facility Management sample, review the following prerequisites.
Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012

You must have Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 installed, with developer license keys. This is a
required prerequisite.
Enterprise Portal
If you want to use the Facility Manager role center or web resources for the Facility
Management sample application, you must have Enterprise Portal installed and configured.
Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services

If you want to use the reports included with the Facility Management sample application,
you must have Microsoft SQL Server® Reporting Services installed and configured for
Microsoft Dynamics AX.
Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services

If you want to use the report based on the cube included with the Facility Management
sample application, you must have Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services installed and
configured for Microsoft Dynamics AX.
Contoso Demo Data

The sample data included with the Facility Management sample is designed to integrate with
the Contoso Demo Data. This demo data is available for download from CustomerSource
and PartnerSource. Use the following links to access this demo data.
Location URL
CustomerSource https://mbs.microsoft.com/customersource/downloads/servicepacks/microsoftdynamicsax2012.htm
PartnerSource https://mbs.microsoft.com/partnersource/deployment/resources/productreleases/microsoftdynamicsax2012.htm
Installing Facility Management

Important: If you have already added or modified resources in the Microsoft Dynamics AX
system where you are installing the Facility Management sample, the resources from the
sample will be added to the changes you already made. It may be difficult to distinguish the
changes and additions you made from those made by the sample. To avoid this, consider
installing the Facility Management sample on a Microsoft Dynamics AX system that is
dedicated to running the sample. Another option is to install the sample into a separate
model in your current Microsoft Dynamics AX installation.

To install the Facility Management application, four main steps must be performed:
1. Install the application resources.

2. Run the Facility Management installation job.
3. Generate number sequences.
4. Load the sample data.
Installing the Application Resources

There are two ways to install the application resources for Microsoft Dynamics AX
applications. You can use an .xpo file to install the resources, or you could use an .axmodel
file to install the resources. Developers will typically use the .xpo file because it allows them
to see merge issues before resources are actually imported. End-users will typically use the
.axmodel file to install applications for Microsoft Dynamics AX. An .xpo file is used to install
the Facility Management sample, because the sample is primarily intended for developers.
To use the .xpo file to install the Facility Management Sample, complete the following
procedure.
1. Start Microsoft Dynamics AX. Be sure that you are logged in as a user with
administrative privileges in Microsoft Dynamics AX.
2. Open the Development Workspace.
3. Choose Tools > Model management > Create model.
4. Supply the following values for the model:
Model name: FacilityManagement

Model publisher: Microsoft
Layer: usr
Version: 1.0.0.0
Model description: Facility Management Sample
Model display name: Facility Management
Choose Set as current model and then click OK.
5. Open the AOT and click the Import button.
6. In the Import window, click Browse. Locate the Facility_Management.xpo file for
the sample application and click Open.
7. Mark the Show details check box. This allows you to see the resources that are
being imported into Microsoft Dynamics AX.

When you select Microsoft Dynamics AX resources that are modified by the sample
application, such as the MainMenu resource, you can click Compare to see what has
been added to or removed from the core resource.
8. Click OK to start the import operation.
9. During the import operation, messages will be displayed for each of these resources
because they already exist in another layer. Click Yes for each of these resources:
 Base Enum ModuleAxapta

 Base Enum NumberSeqModule
 Menu MainMenu
 Web Module Home
Microsoft Dynamics AX will also compile the code for the resources that were
imported. This can take a few minutes, with pauses between the compiling steps.
During that time, you will see several compiler errors. These will be resolved during
the compiling process. At the end of the process you will see approximately 8
compiler warnings. These issues will not affect the Facility Management Sample. You
will also see that the tables for the Facility Management Sample are synchronized,
making them ready to store data in the database.
10. Close and re-open the Microsoft Dynamics AX client. If you view the items in the
Navigation Pane, you should see the Facility management module listed.
You may want to use the Navigation pane options form to move the Facility
management module to a more convenient location in the Navigation Pane.

As the work order is processed by workflow, you should see a message in the
Workflow processor on the system where you have this form open.
21

8. After Microsoft Dynamics AX has finished submitting the work order into the Work
Order Approval workflow, log into Microsoft Dynamics AX as a user who is part of the
Facility Administrator role. You will see that the work order is now submitted and
has moved to the next state, verification.
9. Assume that this is a valid work order, and choose Approve from the Actions
menu. Add a comment, and then click Approve. Allow a few moments for the work
order to move to the next stage of the workflow. When you refresh the view, you will
see that the work order has moved to the work verification stage.
10. In this stage, the work will have been performed, and the details added to the work
order record. At this point, a user in the Facility Manager role examines the details of
the work performed and verifies that the work has been completed. The manager
may also indicate that no verification is needed. For this example, assume that the
work was verified. Choose Completed from the Actions menu. Add a comment, and
then click Completed. Allow a few moments for the work order approval to be
processed. When you refresh the view, you will see that the work order has reached
the completed state.
The workflow state for the work order has been changed to “Completed”.
The Verified field has also been set to “Yes” by the workflow processing code.
