The Application Object Tree (AOT) in Microsoft Dynamics AX can display information about which layers that application objects are in, or have been modified in. The layer information is shown in parentheses immediately following the object name in the AOT, for example, CustTable (sys). This topic describes how to set the layer view for application objects in the AOT.

Description
Show no layers
No layer information is appended to application object names.
Show all layers
Application objects are labeled with information about all layers in which they exist.
For example, if an object from the SYS layer was modified in the HFX and VAR layers, the object would be labeled: (sys, hfx, var).
Show highest layer
Application objects are labeled with information about the highest layer in which they exist.
For example, if an object from the SYS layer was modified in the HFX and VAR layers, the object would be labeled: (var).
Show corrected layers
Only objects that have been modified in the current layer or a higher layer are labeled. Only the highest layer is shown.
For example, if an object from the SYS layer was modified in the HFX and VAR layers, the object would be labeled: (var).
Show all from corrected layers
Only objects that have been modified in the current layer or a higher layer are labeled. All layers in which the object has been modified are shown.
For example, if an object from the SYS layer was modified in the HFX and VAR layers, the object would be labeled: (sys, hfx, var).
