In this series of posts “What is in your Dynamics NAV toolbelt”, i will highlight some of the tools i find very usefull in my daily work, and couldn’t live without. There are probably great alternatives to them out there, so please share your experiences with me.
NAVObjectViewer by Gerd Hübner is one of simplest and most useful tools for a NAV Developer, when you have to dig into a database with modifications, that often are undocumented or you just get a brief explanation of what a previous mod is doing. It is a great alternative to using the Developers Toolkit, as it does not require any setups and other dependencies. Just a quick and easy way to find objects with a nice search interface. And yes, it also has REGEX search capabilities.
Microsoft just released the latest version of the object permission spreadsheet. Compared to what i have seen before i think this is a brand new edition with more features in it.
Just a quick post here serving as shortcut for implementing Microsoft Navision Mail.SmtpMessage in older databases. All it requires is these objects:
Over the years of working with NAV, users have always asked for ways to store their frequently used filters for reports and forms – eg. month end reports (A/R, A/P, Trial Balances), that often needs to be reported in multiple views.
How many times have you been trying to import a version of the “Available objects” reports that are on most of the NAV community sites, having it fail with your customer license file, since you don’t have permissions to the actual report id. And importing the text version of the object is not allowed either.
