Creating a report involves two primary tasks. Your first task is to create a report object and design the dataset. The dataset determines the data to extract or calculate from the Dynamics 365 Business Central database tables for use in a report. After the dataset has been designed, your next task is to design the visual layout of the report.

You can create three types of report layouts:

  • RDL

  • Word

  • Excel

However, one report can contain one or multiple layouts of these different layout types.
