Registering a new MRU entity is done by following the steps below:

First, set the 'MruTableNames' application setting (comma-separated list) to include the table name for which you want to register a new entity.
This is done in SWAT in the .restapplicationsettings file.

Second, in the RecordHdlHelper class, the following method is used to determine the container opened on record double click in the data view: GetContainerOfHdl.
The RecordHdlHelper class uses the IEntityMetadataService.

In the legacy implementation provided in SWAT (LegacyEntityMetadataService.cls) you need to specify which screen opens based on the table Id.

(in our case, profileW opens for table ZUser with id '012'; id is usually the first part of the serlfHdl).

Finally, on the DSO used in the screen, set the EventAfterFetch to the following: '$ akioma.registerMruEntryFromBE(self);'.
This will call a function in the MruBT.cls which will do the registering in the MRU table.
The data source needs its index to point to a valid record in order for the register to work.

After those steps are followed, the new MRU entities will show up in the MRU Data View. Once you double-click on an item, it will open the screen specified above.
