Edit records in Business Central using tablet client

You can easily extend the web client URL to open tables and see all records by following this syntax:

https://<hostname>[/<aadtenantid>][/<environmentname>]/?table=<ID>

I've created a local docker environment called de-latest and I am opening table 225 "Post Code":

👉 http://de-latest/BC/?tenant=default&table=225

🔎 Full web client URL syntax:

https://<hostname>\[/<aadtenantid>\]\[/<environmentname>\]/?\[company=<companyname>\]&\[page|query|report|table=<ID>\]&\[tenant=<tenantID>\]&\[mode=<View|Edit|Create>\]&\[profile=<profileID>\]&\[customize\]&\[bookmark=<bookmark>\]&\[captionhelpdisabled=<0|1>\]&\[showribbon=<0|1>\]&\[shownavigation=<0|1>\]&\[showuiparts=<0|1>\]&\[showheader=<0|1>\]&\[isembedded=1\]&\[pagesize=<number of lines>\]&\[redirect<0|1>\]&\[extension=<extensionID>\]
