  • Makale

A report object is composed of a the following items:

  • Report dataset.

  • Report layout.

  • Request page.

  • Properties, triggers and code.

    You design a report by first defining the dataset, and then designing the visual layout.

Report Dataset

You use Report Dataset Designer in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Development Environment to define the dataset of a report. The dataset determines the data that is extracted or calculated from the Dynamics NAV database tables that can be used in a report. You build the report dataset by adding data items and columns. Typically, data items and columns correspond to fields in a table. When the report is run, each data item is iterated for all records in the underlying table. Filters are applied and the dataset is created.

For more information, see Defining the Report Dataset.

You build the layout of a report by arranging data items and columns and specifying the general format, such as text font and size. A report that is viewed, printed, or saved from a Dynamics NAV client must have a report layout. There are two types of report layouts: client report definition (RDLC) layouts and Word layouts. layouts.

RDLC Report Layouts

To create an RDLC layout, you use Visual Studio Report Designer or Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Report Builder. For more information, see Designing RDLC Report Layouts.

Word Report Layouts
