Feature Limitations of the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web Client

Applies to: Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018. See Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2017 version.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client supports most of the same Dynamics NAV objects and features as Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client, but there are some small differences. This topic lists the features that are not supported or are partially supported by Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client. These features are listed compared with the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client. The topic is divided into the following sections:

Note

In this topic, partially supported means that the feature does not have all the capabilities as it does in Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client or it works differently than in Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client.

General Features

The following table lists general features that are not fully supported by Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client.

Feature Level of support Remarks
COM and Automation Not supported. If a Dynamics NAV object implements Automation (objects and servers), then an error occurs when the object is run in Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client.
Departments and MenuSuite Not supported. The Departments button does not appear in the navigation pane of Role Center in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client. Instead Page Search is available from an action in the navigation pane of the Role Center and on the top right corner of a page. MenuSuite is used to build the Departments page in Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client.
System Indicator Not supported. The Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client always shows the name of the company that it connects to.
Microsoft .NET Framework Interoperability Partially supported. Microsoft .NET Framework interoperability objects that are configured to run on the client are not supported; objects that run on Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server are supported. For more information, see How to: Set .NET Framework Types to Run on the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows Client or Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server Computers.
Configuring the user interface for a profile Partially supported. You cannot perform configuration using the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client. Instead, you use the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client. For more information, see Configuring the User Interface (UI) for Users.

Objects

The following object types are not supported by Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client.

Feature Level of support Remarks
XMLport Partially supported. Request pages are not supported. If you try to run an XMLport with a request page from the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client, then you receive an error that the XMLport page type is not supported.

To run an XMLport without using a request page, you can set the UseRequestPage Property of the XMLport in XML Designer to No. Or, if the XMLport is run from C/AL code by calling the RUN Function (XMLport), then you can set the ReqWindow parameter to false.

Pages Features

This section includes page features that are not fully supported by Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client.

General Page Features

The following page features are not fully supported by Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client.

Report Features

The following table includes reports features that are not supported or are partially supported by Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client.

Feature Level of support Remarks
Printing a report without using a request page by calling the Report.Run function Partially supported.

There is a limit on the number of filters a user can set. The user can only specify one filter in addition to the number of filter fields that are set by the ReqFilterFields property.
