Full Solution Download

Statical Prism Full Solution Download is a Business Central app that downloads the symbols of every app in a Business Central sandbox environment into a new AL project folder, using your own Visual Studio Code. You then open that folder in Prism for AL.

Install the app

Install the app in the sandbox environment you want to download from, either from the Microsoft Marketplace (search for Statical Prism) or on the Extension Management page in Business Central.

Users who run the app need the permission set SCL Statical Prism.
