ENABLING MICROSOFT DYNAMICS NAV SERVER

The Enable for Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server property is new in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV database. When you set this property, you are enabling the functionality of the three-tier architecture.

This gives you access to the special properties and .NET code that are required for computers running Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server to access the database. To set the flag in the Classic client, on the File menu, click Database, and then click New (for a new database) or click Alter (for an existing database). On the Options tab, select Enable for Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server.

How to Zoom in NAV 2009 Pages?

In the NAV Classic client forms using Tools-->Zoom (Ctrl+F8) we can see the all the fields and its values.

In the NAV RT Client pages also it is possible to zoom the page using About the Page (Ctrl+Alt+F1) in the top right side of the page.



NOTE: Zooming the Listpart (i.e. subform) is only possible by keeping the cursor in the subform and pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 Keys. Clicking the About the Page button in the top right side of the page only works for the main forms.



NOTE: In the classic client zoom option display the fields in the same orders  as the fields in the table. In the RT Client zoom option displays first primary key field values and the remaining fields in the alphabetical order and Field ID also displayed...Nice....

 

 

 

How to place the Actions in the pages to new category (NAV 2009)

Instead of placing the actions in the standard categories like New, Process and Report, you can also place your action to your own categories.
The following steps will show the process with an example:

In the object designer, design the page 30 Item Card.

Move to the last blank line in the page.

Go to the Actions using ViewàActions.

Go to the properties of the Action you want to move to the new Category.

Change the following properties:

• Promoted to Yes
• PromotedCategory to Category4. Category 4 to 10 are available in the NAV 2009 SP1, other than the standard categories like New, Report and Report.
• PromotedIsBig to Yes

Go to the Page properties and change the PromotedActionCategoriesML property value like below:

          ENU=New,Process,Report,New Category
First three values should be same like New, Process, Report and from there you can give your own name. If you change these values standard page Categories will be changed.

Run the page in RTC and see the result. You will find a new Category with "New Category" which has your action.

Transformging Subforms to Pages

While transforming subforms to the pages using Transformation Tool, TIF information should include main form also. Otherwise the entire menu buttons related to subform will not be moved to pages.

For Example: While transforming Form 46 to page, you should include 42 form also. Otherwise Subform menu's like "Line" will not be moved to the Page 46.
